Food scene

Our nearest pub (1 mile away inland along Hungry Hill). Really good village pub, lovely friendly atmosphere, serving an extensive menu of homemade pub grub (including vegetarian, vegan and GF options), and fine real ales. Dog-friendly but make sure you ask for a table in the bar area when booking if taking your pooch as they also have a separate dog-free restaurant area. Advisable to book for dinner. Live music on Sunday afternoons.

An amazing pub & restaurant set in the grounds of a historic and extensive deer park, with steaks cooked on an open fire in the restaurant. In the summer you can sit outside and watch the deer in the park. Owned by an art-dealer, you will find some very interesting and sometimes provocative artwork adorning the walls –some by famous artists such as Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst and Lucian Freud to name but a few. It is very popular and gets extremely busy, therefore it is advisable to book well in advance to secure a table.

You have the choice of sitting in the restaurant with it's amazing sea views or take-away here. The fish and chips are great and so are the ice creams, locally sourced from Lakenham Creamery. There is also another restaurant upstairs called Upstairs at No.1 which has a more extensive menu and restaurant style meals. Tables can only be booked for the upstairs restaurant.

A favourite place for a special lunch or dinner, this is relaxed fine dining in an intimate setting. The 500 year coaching inn was destroyed by fire in 2017, but has been lovingly restored and re-opened in March 2019. They serve a lunch-du-jour menu, a la carte also at lunch and in the evenings a wonderful tasting menu. They truly deserve all their five star reviews and accolades, definitely book ahead evenings and on Sundays as it is very popular indeed. Lunch time is quieter and you can often get a table on the day.

Family Days Out

A wonderful family day out where mums, dads and grandparents can play amongst the trees with their children, running, jumping, swinging and creating treasured memories together. The best day of the week to visit is Saturday as this is the main change over day in the area. Tickets can be booked online for quick entry to the park. Lots of special events are held during bank holidays, half terms and summer holidays. There is food available but we always like to take a picnic, leave it in the car and return for a picnic break at lunchtime rather than carrying it around the park.

A bit of a drive but well worth it! Fabulous children's indoor and outdoor play areas (the Hootz House and Wild Rootz) plus plentiful wildlife, beautiful lakeside walks and gardens in this 700-acre natural park. In the spring and summer there is a shallow stream running through the Wild Rootz area where children can splash about. We always take spare clothes and towels as the children inevitably get wet and soggy! Tickets can be purchased online with discount and also to pre-book a slot in the Hootz House. Not a great selection of food in children's area so it's a good idea to take a picnic.

If you prefer to see the seals from land rather than boat an excellent place to go is Horsey. The seals come on to the beach in the winter months to give birth and the beach is literally covered - it is quite an amazing sight. It does get busy and quite muddy so go prepared. See the above website for further details and updates regarding if and when the seals are there.

Aylsham and Holt are both thriving market towns. Holt is a particular favourite of ours; it has quaint alleyways and courtyards sporting great little shops and boutiques – as well as café’s, pubs and restaurants. A particular favourite is Byfords – a charming café and deli in a historic building.

Almost the entire 50 mile stretch of coastline from Snettisham in the west to Mundesley in the east is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and Wells is perfectly located as a base from which to explore the area.

The beach at Holkham is one of the most unspoilt and beautiful stretches of sand in the country. Behind the shoreline lies a semi-circular basin, which, at very high tides, rapidly fills to form a spectacular shallow lagoon. The actress Gwyneth Paltrow walked across Holkham sand at low tide during the closing scenes of the film ‘Shakespeare in Love’. Holkham National Nature Reserve, one of the largest in the country, is home to many rare species of flora and fauna. The Holkham Estate is one of a select few privately owned estates to have been awarded Approved Body Status under Section 35 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act which has, since July 2017, enabled it to manage its own land whilst the beach is managed by Natural England in partnership with Holkham.

The beach at Holkham is one of the most unspoilt and beautiful stretches of sand in the country. Behind the shoreline lies a semi-circular basin, which, at very high tides, rapidly fills to form a spectacular shallow lagoon.

An absolutely beautiful privately-owned estate on the North Norfolk coast. Hire cycles for the day, take a boat out on the lake, children can play on the woodland adventure playground, take a walk around the extensive grounds, follow a nature trail, take a guided tour around the house or visit the Field to Fork exhibition. The Walled Garden is absolutely wonderful too, to which you can walk or cycle or take a tractor ride. “The Victoria” pub on the estate also serves fabulous food and a visit to Norfolk wouldn't be complete without a visit to Holkham beach. At Christmas time their Father Christmas experience is truly magical and they also offer candle light house tours throughout December. Special events at Easter and Halloween are very well organised and great fun for the children. A new sky maze (Go Ape style) is due to open July 2019.

Explore the house and experience what life was like in the 1930s when Philip Kerr, the last private owner of Blickling Estate, lived there. The gardens and house are breath-taking, well worth a visit. Christmas is also a great time to visit as in early December at weekends the house and gardens are illuminated – absolutely stunning and unmissable if you are here at the time.

The Norfolk retreat of Her Majesty the Queen. It is a bit of a drive to Sandringham and its glorious gardens, fine house and museum from Mundesley. The 600-acre country park and visitor centre is open all year round. There are two nature trails and a sculpture trail around the park.
