THE AREA

Brancaster Staithe has been a fishing village since Roman times. Houses of all shapes and sizes with unbelievably long gardens, butt right onto the salt marshes.

Lots of the locals sell fresh mussels from their houses and a walk down to the harbour takes you through whelk sheds with masses of discarded shells.

Brancaster Staithe is a lovely coastal village, which has much to offer, making it an ideal holiday location at any time of the year. There is a wonderful sandy beach, numerous coastal and countryside walks, a golf course, a tennis court and excellent sailing.

There are two pubs within walking distance and shops nearby.

The village is situated in an extensive area of salt marsh, intertidal mud and sand flats which has provided a living for oyster, mussel, and crab fishermen for generations. This is a beautiful and peaceful place for leisurely walks and sailing.

Nearby is the site of the Roman fort of Branodunum

A little further along the coast there are many interesting bird reserves including Scolt Head, Titchwell and Holme next the Sea.

A boat can be hired at Brancaster Staithe (weather permitting) to take visitors to the National Nature Reserve on Scolt Head Island, managed by English Nature. The island with its nature trail is an important breeding site for four species of tern, oystercatcher and ringed plover.

A pretty village on the North Norfolk Coast, popular with sailors, walkers & bird watchers. Sailing school and chandlers. Good pubs & restaurants.
SAILING at BRANCASTER STAITHE - First get a tide chart. For two hours either side of high tide each day you and your children can sail safely in the large harbour between the Staithe and Scolt Head, or the more competent out to sea over the bar. There are popular sailing courses for anyone over the age of 8, wet suits and boats provided, and flotillas of squealing children soon learn to deliberately capsize and right their Picos. This is where the local fisherman haul in their mussels, crabs and lobsters and where the White Horse Restaurant serves them later to those lucky enough to get tables. During Sailing Week Regatta in August there is barely a space to moor or park a boat but always the great open sea to race them. The Staithe and Brancaster Village compliment each other - one for beach and t'other for boats. You'll find boatyards, ships chandlers, even an antique shop but if you want sophistication and fashion then you'll head for nearby Burnham Market.
