Blakeney Point

At the heart of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Blakeney National Nature Reserve boasts wide open spaces and uninterrupted views of the beautiful North Norfolk coastline. The four mile long shingle spit of Blakeney Point offers protection for Blakeney Harbour and the surrounding saltmarshes, providing a perfect habitat for the vast array of residential and migratory wildlife.

The best way to see the seals is on a boat trip – www.bishopboats.co.uk

Churches

Norfolk has one of the highest concentrations of churches in the world. The North Norfolk area is dotted with medieval church buildings of varied types.

Some walking tours exploring Norfolk churches are on www.exploringnorfolkchurches.org

Cycling

North Norfolk is a great place for bike rides as it is so flat!

Norfolk County Council have some excellent route maps you can follow too.

Sandringham is the much-loved country retreat of Her Majesty The Queen, and has been the private home of four generations of British monarchs since 1862. The grounds and house are usually open for visitors between April and October. Outside the gates there is a large woodland area with adventure playground, cafe and shop.

Lovat Scout WW1 Trench Tour

In 1915, a mock WW1 battlefield of around 15 acres was dug on Docking Common. 3.5 acres still survives at Dreamy Hollow. These trenches are the only ones known to be in existence and have been listed by Historic England. Access to the trenches is strictly by appointment only under the supervision of the warden or our guide.

You can now book a tour directly with Ian our volunteer WW1 Guide at £15 per family group of a maximum of 9 (£20 if a copy of “Hunstanton’s Heroes” is included).  Please make Ian aware of any members of the group who may be vulnerable to disturbing historical facts.
