Where to Holiday in North Norfolk, East England

The North Norfolk coast is one of the best holiday spots in East England, but towns like Cromer, Holt, Wells, Blakeney, Hunstanton and Cley are all very different.

The North Norfolk coast is one of the most magical parts of East England, stretching roughly from Cromer in the east to Hunstanton in the west. Both those are busy holiday resorts, popular with families and with plenty to do.

So too is Sheringham, and to a lesser extent Wells-next-the-Sea, but not all the North Norfolk towns are like that. Towns like Cley-next-the-Sea and Blakeney are much smaller and quieter, with a lot to attract birdwatchers and others interested in wildlife and walking.

Slightly inland from the North Norfolk coast are small but sophisticated towns like Burnham Market and Holt. Here are bookshops and upmarket shopping, delis and fine restaurants, and smart hotels like Byfords in Holt, which calls itself a 'posh b&b'.

Here are the main places to think about when planning where to holiday in North Norfolk:

Cromer in North Norfolk
Famous for its Cromer crabs and other seafood, here's the place to try fish and chips too. Cromer has an excellent beach and dramatic cliffs, and is the place to choose if you want a typically busy British seaside resort.
