Close by Ranters Cottage, pine forests fringe the coastline with miles of golden sands and safe shallow waters. Just 10 minutes walk from the cottage is Holkham Hall, the Palladian estate of the Earl of Leicester with over three thousand acres of deer park to discover. 5 minutes drive finds Little Walsingham, a Christian shrine since 1061 and Burnham Thorpe, the birthplace of Admiral Lord Nelson. From seal colonies at Blakeney Point to bird sanctuaries at several RSPB sites, North Norfolk's coastline has something to offer everyone all year round.
