The Church of Our Lady Saint Mary, one of the most beautiful mediaeval country churches in Norfolk, is just behind the cottage and well worth a visit. Services are on Sunday mornings. Heading towards the coast, around 3 minutes drive away, is the village of North Creake where you'll find Creake Abbey, a great café/restaurant/deli which hosts Norfolk’s best farmer’s market on the first Saturday of every month. Continue on towards the coast and you’ll come to Burnham Market (around 8 minutes drive from the cottage) with its array of quirky independent shops and cafes / pubs / butcher / fishmonger / cinema and spa. Further afield is the market town of Holt, with a great range of shops, cafes and antiques. From here you can take a steam train to Sheringham on the North Norfolk Railway. There are stunning beaches at Brancaster, Burnham Overy-Staithe, Holkham and Wells. The Norfolk Coast Path runs from Hunstanton in west Norfolk round to Sea Palling on the north east coast. The majority of this walking trail runs through the dramatic landscape of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The seaside town of Wells, the harbour at Blakeney, and the pretty village of Cley are also well worth a visit. Boat trips to see the seals at Blakeney Point can be booked online, departing from Morston Quay. Parking is available in the lane in front of the cottage, just a few metres away.
