Explore it. There’s so much more of it.
Hello
You’re about to discover so much more about North Norfolk. Famous, and loved, for breathtaking beaches and glorious countryside our very special region is a firm favourite for summer holidays.
But take a closer look. The vibrant cultural life here has so much to offer, all year round.
Every season brings events and festivals; every road leads to something worth seeing. From the Theatre in Sheringham, to the Gallery in Bircham, from Wroxham Barns to the Holt Festival the entire region is alive with a vast range of cultural activity.
Even your journeys will be steeped in the artistic and literary history of North Norfolk. As you weave your way around you’ll be travelling the roads that writers as diverse as Conan Doyle, Patrick Hamilton and Jack Higgins used as they found inspiration in locations and stories from North Norfolk. You’ll see the skies that fired the imagination of painters such as Seago, and the seas that washed away the lost village of Shipden.
Think of North Norfolk and the entire year in the same spirit.

Just what is the area we call North Norfolk? Norfolk is a big county, and the part of it you’re about to discover is defined by a sweeping crescent of over fifty miles of coastline. This great arc of seascape swings from Winterton in the east, where Defoe set Robinson Crusoe’s first shipwreck, to Hunstanton in the west, a place inextricably linked with the works of P.G. Wodehouse and L.P. Hartley.
Stretching southwards and inland the area takes in Heacham. It was here, long before Disney discovered her, that Pocahontas came to live with her husband. Reaching over to Wroxham and Arthur Ransome’s setting for Coot Club this is a unique spread of coast and countryside. You’ll find tiny villages set against vast vistas, bustling streets just minutes away from backwaters and byways, rolling rivers and of course the Broads.
The hundreds of square miles that make up North Norfolk are a cultural landscape, living in perfect harmony with a cherished natural environment of outstanding beauty.
And it’s all here for you to explore. All year round.

There are lots of ways to get around North Norfolk. You certainly don’t always need the car. In fact, the less you drive the more you’re helping to protect the natural environment that forms such a fantastic backdrop to our cultural landscape.
There are some delightful walks around the area. Cycling is another great way to see the scenery between your chosen destinations. Don’t be scared; as Noel Coward said, ‘Very flat, Norfolk’. (Actually it’s not totally flat, but we don’t exactly have mountains!).
Bus routes abound and of course there’s the train - some of them still steam!
If you’re spoiled for choice, or just can’t make up your minds what to do first, here are some suggestions for you to explore the region’s culture and history.
