HISTORY: FOR CENTURIES, THE NORFOLK COAST HAS BEEN A POPULAR VACATION DESTINATION.
The North Norfolk Coast has long been a favorite vacation destination, but with so many wonderful sites to visit, picking just one can be difficult. We've compiled a list of our top five tucked-away jewels on the North Norfolk Coast that you won't want to miss when planning your trip to this beautiful corner of the world.
The coastline, which spans for more than 100 miles, is home to charming villages, beautiful beaches, and historic sites. Hiking, motorcycling, fishing, and bird watching are among the activities available to visitors. The Norfolk Coast is also famed for its delectable seafood eateries, such as The White Horse in Brancaster Staithe and The Kings Head in Blakeney.
The Norfolk Coast was named one of the greatest locations to live in the UK by The Sunday Times in 2019. The annual Finest Places to Live guide published by the newspaper assists readers in determining the best places to buy a home and live in Britain. It considers criteria such as quality of life, jobs, schools, community spirit, and local facilities. The "unspoiled shoreline," "quaint villages," and "really lovely scenery" of the Norfolk Coast were all lauded.
WINTERTON-ON-SEA
Winterton is well-known for being Norfolk's only seaside resort with direct access to the North Sea and its own beach. Since Victorian times, this county town has been a popular vacation destination, and it offers plenty of possibilities for walking over scenic beach dunes, exploring tiny shops, and simply relaxing by the ocean with a good book or coffee and friends.
HUNSTANTON
Hunstanton, like Winterton, has long functioned as a gathering place over the centuries. In fact, great author Geoffrey Chaucer included Hunstanton in his epic work "The Canterbury Tales" about 700 years ago! Today, visitors come for the endless beaches flanked by rock cliffs, or for the rich history at landmarks such as Old Hunstanton Chapel and The Red Mount Chapel, which were erected in 1585 from flintstone uncovered during building at nearby Holme-next-the-Sea.
SHERINGHAM
Sheringham is about 10 miles north of Cromer and is known for its fishing heritage, sandy beaches surrounded by rocky cliffs, and charming stone architecture such as All Saints Church, which was built in 1421 on Beeston Bump hilltop and offers beautiful views of both land and sea vistas below!
WELL-NEXT-THE-SEA
None of the seaside towns on the Norfolk Coast compare to charming unhurried Wells, where colorful beach cottages line a large golden sands beach stretching from the renowned striped red and white Holkham Hall inlets to the Stiffkey salt marshes. Take a leisurely boat ride through The Nature Reserve for a closer look at local seal populations or participate in the mussel-picking tradition as an added treat!
THE HOLKHAM HALL
Finally, we arrive at one of Norfolk's best-kept secrets: the magnificent Holkham Hall. This stunning Palladian mansion was built between 1734-1764 on 25,000 acres of pristine parkland and deer herds and is still home to the Earl of Leicester's family today who welcome visitors from near and far year-round to share in its beauty whether it be exploring the house itself or enjoying outdoor activities like horse riding, cycling, or simply taking a peaceful stroll around Holkham Estate's lake villages dotted with thatched cottages!
The coastline, which spans for more than 100 miles, is home to charming villages, beautiful beaches, and historic sites. Hiking, motorcycling, fishing, and bird watching are among the activities available to visitors. The Norfolk Coast is also famed for its delectable seafood eateries, such as The White Horse in Brancaster Staithe and The Kings Head in Blakeney.

The village of Brancaster is synonymous with shellfish, particularly the mussels that thrive in the salt marshes along this stretch of coast. Many of the families farming these mussel beds have been doing so for generations, working with time and tide to nurture a prized variety known as the Norfolk Blue. They’re a firm fixture on local menus, including at The White Horse in Brancaster Staithe. The restaurant is known for its take on the classic dish moules marinière, served overlooking the salt marshes where the mussels were grown // Photo by @richardjamestaylor for the June 2021 issue of National Geographic Traveller . . . #NGTUK #natgeo #nationalgeographic #natgeotravel #travelgram #instatravel #travellersofinstagram — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3tHLrDe

New Project: a barn & cottage in Norfolk
New Post has been published on http://www.studio29architects.co.uk/new-project-a-barn-cottage-in-norfolk/
New Project: a barn & cottage in Norfolk
Our lovely clients of the colourful house in Holland Park have come back to us with a new exciting project. The location: Norfolk, a county that we did not know, but we are quickly falling in love with. The building: a flint and timber barn with annexed guest cottage in Brancaster Staithe. The brief: to refurbishing it and fitting it out, to be the couple’s coastal retreat.
The house has uninterrupted views on the salt marshes to the North and a secluded and sunny garden to the South.
Both barn and cottage originally belonged the adjacent grand Georgian house. The barn was used to receive and store grains and coal for the local brewery. It was then converted – very cleverly – in to a house in 1971 and not touched ever since.
Our clients fell in love with the big spaces, the almost brutalist 70’s additions and the perfect North-South aspect. The latter gives the house a double personality.
The North side speaks to us of the atmospheres of the North Sea, with its mercantile past and connection with the Baltic and Hanseatic ports. The South side is all about the comfort and colours of the classic English garden plus the thrill of extra-large and tall rooms with glass ceilings and doors and stone walls.
We are working on the design to re-organise the space and express and combine the house’s opposite aspects and we will be sharing our progress on the blog. Stay tuned!
