Famous for its beaches, the North Norfolk coast is a traditional destination for generations of families throughout the UK. The long sweep of sand with picturesque beach huts at Wells-Next-the-Sea and the sandy beach at West Runton (only 3 miles from The Barn) with its rock pools and a cafe. For drama, try the vast windswept beach at Holkham. Cley-next-the-Sea is offers yet another great beach and is peaceful all year round. The seaside towns of Sheringham and Cromer buzz in the summer with holidaymakers and amusements.
