Great food and Cley is worth a visit for its art galleries, pottery shop and Windmill. There is a good circular walk you can do from the house - take the longer, coastal path route on the way there and return via the Coast Road.

Particularly nice in the summer due to the outdoor dining and relaxed cafe setting. Plenty of space for children to run about and they do take away pizza evenings in the summer too so worth taking a look at their website for more.

Take a trip from Burnham Overy Staithe to the magical Scolt Head Island Nature reserve. Sandy deserted beaches and beautiful views await. Lovely for walks all year round and for a day swimming and sunbathing in the summer. Small ferry boat runs daily 2 hours each side of high tide so check times before you go. The Hero pub in Burnham Overy is a great spot for a meal or drink too.
