With the sea crashing ashore and a crisp wind in your face, there are few finer places to be out for a bracing walk on a fresh winter day than on one of the beaches of North Norfolk.
Leave the comfort of your cosy hotel in North Norfolk behind for a few hours, wrap yourself up warm and set out along one of the beaches for a stroll. It will set you up for the rest of the day. There are many splendid beaches to choose from and which you decide to enjoy will probably depend on your plans for the rest of the day.
It could be one that is close to your Norfolk Luxury Hotels, or one that will see you arrive at a restaurant for lunch or dinner or pause for a winter warmer at a pub en route. Popular beaches for winter walks are those at Wells, with the wonderful panoramic backdrop of brightly colour beach huts, or the sandy expanse of Holkham beach which is also popular with horse riders. But there are the beaches at Cromer, Shering-ham, Mundesley or Sea Palling that you may wish to enjoy as well.
Many beaches have stretches were you can take the dog for a walk with you. If you are having a weekend break Norfolk then there’s time for a walk on Saturday afternoon and you may even choose to experience another beach on the Sunday morn-ing. Don’t be put off by the weather. Norfolk enjoys some fabulous crisp, sunny winter days, though it does also have its fair share of windy wintry weather too. But that simply adds to the enjoyment because if you are well-wrapped up against the ele-ments, the coastal breeze will not trouble you.
If you are staying in a North Norfolk Hotel, there is sure to be some literature that will help you pick a beach for your stroll. Ask at reception or chat to your fellow guests, you’ll never be short of suggestions. There are also walks that meander inland too if you prefer, usually along well sign-posted routes and with interesting sights along the way.
