Our Must-See Destinations
Our favourite beach
Absolutely beautiful! Miles and miles of sandy beach, dog-friendly, great for children as there is a channel close to the beach huts and a lifeguarded section. If you're heading to the coast, you must see Wells!!

Another sandy beach! If you're chasing the surf, check out Mundesley surf school 'Glide', there are also lifeguards at this beach. Enjoy a surf lesson and finish off with a pub meal overlooking the beach at the Ship Inn.
Or if you're looking for a little more secluded beach, try Trimingham - it's next door, and has free parking down the little track on Vale rd.

Check out the beautiful seaside town of Cromer! With a spectacular pier, NO.1 fish and chip shop (highly recommend) and try out some surfing with Glide!!
Top surf spot in Norfolk, head over to Glide Surf School for some lessons or surfboard hire, and check out Norfolk's waves - waves are best 2hrs before and after high tide, to the right of the pier.

Just 2 miles away we are so lucky to have the River Wensum. A perfect place to swim at the falls and take our kayaks down the river. Or if you don't fancy a swim, take the path from Swanton Morley church and walk along the river.
