North Norfolk - Places to Go
Sightseeing
Holkham Hall is a great destination. Massive hall in a huge estate, kids play area and nice cafe, plus small museum for a rainy day. The parkrun is held here at 9am on Saturday! Directly across the main road is the beautiful and massive Holkham beach. Be warned if you are carrying small children or lots of stuff, it is a 15 min walk through a pine wood to reach the beach and considerably further to get anywhere near the sea. Beautiful though.

By far the most accessible beach, can park in the car park and then walk 2 mins onto the lovely beach. Good option with kids.
