Surrounding area

Hempstead is a quiet, friendly hamlet 2 miles from the historic and bustling Georgian town of Holt with its selection of interesting shops, galleries and restaurants. Holt Country Park has lots of activities going on throughout the year and bikes can be hired locally.

Hempstead is the perfect base for walks directly from the cottage and with good access to the coast a 15 minute drive away. The famous beaches at Holkham and Wells are a short ride along the coastal road, passing Morston, Blakeney and Stiffkey and visitors to the cottage particularly recommend West Runton beach. Seal watching is a must and boats go regularly from Morston Quay. National Trust properties Blickling Estate and Felbrigg Hall are easy to get to and Sheringham further east is a charming seaside town, home to the the North Norfolk steam railway and beautiful Sheringham Park. Bird watchers will want to visit the Norfolk Wildlife Trust site at Cley Marshes and further afield at Holme-next-the-Sea and the RSPB's Titchwell Marsh. Good food is a feature of the area with many restaurants and pubs and plenty of seafood available.
