Norfolk’s 90-mile coastline is a haven of wildlife-rich salt marshes, rolling dunes, flint-built fishing villages, and handsome harbour towns. Discover this timeless National Landscape on guided walks of 4–5 miles and time for sightseeing along the way. Together, we’ll explore RSPB Titchwell Marsh, admire the views around Blakeney Point by boat, and visit the traditional seaside resort of Cromer. Inland highlights include Sandringham, the country retreat of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, and Holkham Hall, an 18th-century Palladian house surrounded by deer-filled parkland. We’ll also delve into Norfolk’s rich maritime heritage at fascinating local museums and enjoy a nostalgic journey on the North Norfolk Railway.

Accommodation

A range of handpicked hotels...

Caley Hall is a family run, luxury hotel in Old Hunstanton. The original manor house at Caley Hall dates back to 1648 and was home to the Le Strange steward from 1842-57. The stables and outbuildings were converted to provide 35 boutique style hotel bedrooms in 1976.  Close to Old Hunstanton beach and near to Hunstanton Golf Club, Caley Hall Hotel is the ideal location. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms, have a flat screen television, dressing table, WiFi, direct dial telephone, tea and coffee making facilities, iron and ironing board and a hairdryer. This hotel is dog-friendly so you may meet four legged friends in some of the communal areas.
