Where To Stay On Norfolk Coast?

[Ladders]

Taking the missus to the Norfolk coast for the weekend.

 

Was thinking of Hunstanton to yarmouth. Any recomend B & B's campsites round that way?

 

Plus will most places let you just turn up and book or will I have to book in advance?

 

Cheers

Argh!!!!! You just picked the two worst places to go!!

IMO

Depends what u are looking for, but for a quiet, scenic seaside experience, try Sheringham for a town, or Blakeney for a village, both are my favorite spots to go. Sheringham has a full range of shops and a great front, Blakeney has seal watching trips, a windy coastal walk and an awesome teashop up the hill.

For posh antique shops and great cakes try Holt.

 

Have a great time!

Cheers Bramble!

 

Was thinking of taking the coastal route so driving through Hunstanton etc

 

Will give Sheringham and Blakeney a try

 

Just pray for nice weather now

Weather permitting, stop for a beer and spot of lunch at the Dun Cow in Salthouse. Its on th coast road between Cley next the sea and Weybourne and has nice beer garden.

 

If you like smoked fish etc. the smoke house in cley is worth a visit !

Cheers Rob

 

Keeping fingers crossed about the weather!

 

Just wondering Rob, do you use your car every day or is it a weekend car etc?

[RobS]

Purely a toy mate, work for a Chrysler Jeep dealer so normally hack round in a Grand Cherokee/Crossfire(err) or whatevers got some juice in it !! Have to admit to being seen in a PT Cruiser recently though....not good for ones street cred

Surely anywhere that Bramble suggests is worth avoiding? there's a chance you may run into him

He'll Probably be waiting for me at one of the place all weekend

 

Only joking!

 

Yep, don't see the Exige around E/S much, nice toy Rob!

[RobS]

Every time I have a day off it pi$$es it down ! Even had to connect the battery conditioner the other day ...... and its bloody July for Gods sake

Southwold (small town) is really nice as is the beach at Walberswick. Avoid Lowestoft like the plague!

Ditto to Southwold, great cakes..... (notice the theme...)

 

I'll be waiting on the A47, so you won't get into Norfolk past me!

Well, Sat morning started off in Hunstaton - and carried on driving through Bramble

 

But took the coast road, very nice with the roof off - even when it's cloudy with a bit of sun like it was Sat. Stopped off at Salthouse at the Dun Cow for food. Cheers for the advice Rob, would be even better with the sun out.

 

Then carried on to sherringham. Put up new tent to try out, and introduce the girlfriend to the joys of camping. Drove to Cromer. Sun comes out and all is looking good! Drive to supermarket with roof off to buy BBQ stuff. Leave roof off when we go in as it's all blue skies. Come out 20 mins later - its pissing it down!

 

Typical! pisses it down constantly, I have to cook a BBQ in the rain. We decided to come home Sun instead of useing the mon we took off work to have a nice few days off!

 

Oh well, it was fun I suppose - and more fun than sharing a tent with Rawr eh Scott!

[RobS]

Bring any crabs back ?
