A Day Further West

Itinerarie by Lauren and Francesca

Itinerary by Lauren & Francesca

This itinerary begins around a 45-minute drive west of Byfords, making it ideal if you’re travelling from that direction before check-in, or have a full day to explore a little further afield.

 

Start your day in Holme-next-the-sea

The best way to spend a day on the North Norfolk Coast starts at The White Horse Bakery in Holme-next-the-Sea for a suitably stylish pastry and a walk on the beach if time permits.

After breakfast head down the road for a stop at Drove Orchards for a potter round the shops, antiques & farm shop.

Next on the itinerary is an optional stop at Thornham Old Quay

Soak in the skies over the saltmarsh, watch the waders and walk around the ancient tree stumps.

Get back on the road and carry on down the coast to Holkham Beach to breathe deeply and get your fix of those famous sweeping Norfolk skies.

Get back on the road to Holkham

Get back on the road and carry on down the coast to Holkham Beach to breathe deeply and get your fix of those famous sweeping Norfolk skies. Carry on down for a stop at beautiful Stiffkey Stores for coffee, cake and a browse.

Finally, wend your way to Byford's and check in, take a break, and soak up the atmosphere in Henry's Bar. Order Byfords takeaway pizzas and take them to Cley beach.

After dinner with a view, head over to Blakeney for a sunset walk along the quay or coastal path as the sun goes down. Head back to Byford's and relax deeply in your room.
