BRANCASTER
Brancaster is on the North Norfolk Coast, which is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Whether you are looking for a sailing, walking, birdwatching, bucket and spade or simply a relaxing holiday Brancaster has much to offer and Maremma is a welcoming and comfortable haven to return to at the end of the day be it summer or wintertime.

The broad sandy sweep of Brancaster beach is about one mile by road from the cottage across the salt marshes and the vast expanse of Holkham beach immortalised by Gwyneth Paltrow is six miles away. Brancaster Staithe sailing club is a mile away and can be reached by car or on foot along the Norfolk coastal path.

There is a village shop and post office close by and the excellent ‘Fish Shed’ at Brancaster Staithe supplies wonderful fish and shellfish, vegetables, herbs as well as game in season. Burnham Market, four miles away, has a very good range of interesting shops as has Holt which is worth a visit. The beautiful Cathedral City of Norwich is forty miles distant. For golfers, the Royal West Norfolk Golf Club is at the end of the road whilst the Hunstanton course is six miles away.

The idle needn't walk anywhere beyond where they choose to dump their picnics and pitch camp. Turn right and walk away from where many people bunch and you will have swathes of deserted sand for your cricket or sandcastles. The very tidal sea leaves lagoons where children can safely splash, and at low tide the ship wreck is visible with its barnacle covered bilges and superstructure used for wartime target practise. But don't dally. The tide turns quickly and loiterers can find themselves wading back through the inrushing sea.
If you stay in the village you can expect to be woken by the chatter of skeins of geese flying overhead to their inland pastures, returning to the marshes again at dusk.
There are pubs, excellent restaurants in many of the local villages including a popular pizza place, and of course the Royal West Norfolk Golf Club, recently elevated to the ...
