North Norfolk Coast

With every justification, the north Norfolk Coast is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the UK, attracting birders and hikers, campers and beach lovers by the thousand. It’s got something for just about everyone, from the quaintest of villages to bucket-and-spade resorts, as well as tracts of pristine coastline where salt and freshwater marshes abut long sandy beaches. In the past couple of decades, it’s become better known and somewhat gentrified, populated by second-homers from London that lent it the tag of UK’s Hamptons for a while. Whether you find this enticing or not, it remains one of the jewels of Britain’s coastline, and is still very diverse: it’s a long way from Cromer to Burnham Market in more ways than one.
