Overview
Head to the coast with wide sandy stretches, sand dunes and the seaside resorts of Sheringham and Cromer. Take boat trips to discover a different aspect of the natural wonders of the region and spot seals. We have included 3 nights at Holt, a Georgian market town as it is a good base from which to explore the coast and reach the Norfolk Broads.Accommodation is in a range of 4 star hotels, with on-site restaurants or a choice of places to eat locally.
Itinerary
Heading back towards the Norfolk Coast AONB stop at Holkham Hall, an 18th Century Country House where you can visit the Hall before continuing through Holkham National Nature Reserve to the sea where you can enjoy a picnic on the beach at Wells. Follow the estuary along to Wells-next-the-Sea, a pretty harbour town.
Cycling along gravel tracks and lanes reach the monastic ruins of Binham Priory. The Benedictine priory was founded in 1091, the nave of which, with its 13th century west front and Norman arches, is now the parish church. Continue to Holt, an historic Georgian market town where you will spend the next 3 nights (B).
A choice of routes again today, both routes take you to Aylsham from where you have the option of going on the Bure Valley steam railway to Wroxham where you can go on a boat trip of the Norfolk Broads. Option 1 takes you via Mannington Hall, a moated medieval country house and the Blickling Estate, a National Trust property before returning from Aylsham along the Marriott's Way, which follows a disused railway line.
Continuing back towards Holt visit the village of Heydon, a charming cul-de-sac village in a Conservation Area. The second option takes you on the North Norfolk Railway steam train (payable locally) to Sheringham and over the 'Norfolk Alps' to the Blickling Estate and then follows the same route (B).
