The North Norfolk coast is one of England’s quiet treasures. It is known for its ever-changing coastline and wide, dramatic skies. Much of this shoreline is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is also internationally celebrated for its wildlife.
This is an area set apart in location and character. It sits at the farthest eastern reaches of England. That sense of remoteness is part of its charm.
Exploring the North Norfolk coast
From west to east, the North Norfolk coast offers something for everyone. Holkham Bay greets visitors with its glorious pine-fringed beach. Further along lie the gentler stretches at Happisburgh and Sea Palling.
Walkers love the big horizons and the salt-marsh paths. Birdwatchers come for the internationally important habitats. Families simply enjoy the space and the sand.
Charming market towns and villages dot the landscape. Cromer, Sheringham and Wells are all rich in character. Each has its own pace and personality.
Getting here is easy
A good road network connects North Norfolk to Britain’s motorways. Rail and coach links reach the area from most parts of the country. Trains run on the Bittern Line from Norwich to Sheringham.
The route passes through Wroxham, North Walsham and Cromer along the way. Norwich Airport is also within easy reach. Arriving feels refreshingly simple.
