HOLME-NEXT-THE-SEA

A very sought after coastal village, Holme-next-the-Sea has a huge expanse of beach and marshes.

This area makes this quiet village perfect for bird-watching. It also has a very good pub, The White Horse. An ancient ring of timbers discovered on Holme beach after a very low tide is believed to be a ritual burial site dating from Druid times. The Seahenge, as it is known, has been removed for conservation and is exhibited at Lynn Museum in King's Lynn.

The village is between Old Hunstanton and Thornham on the north Norfolk coast and is a short drive to the amenities in Hunstanton.

Hunstanton was established in 1846 by Henry Le Strange as a bathing resort designed in a Victorian Gothic style, the esteemed townsman wisely led the development of a railway from King's Lynn to enable day-trippers to reach the 'new town' – a canny investment as the route was later to become the most profitable in the country.

Holidaymakers still Mecca to Hunstanton, many staying at Searles Leisure Resort which opened as a caravan park in 1936. Enjoy an afternoon on the water with a boat trip on its Wash Monster, ride the carousel at the fairground or keep it traditional and feed the penny slots at the arcades. The town's Princess Theatre, renamed in the 80s in honour of Lady Diana Spencer, features a year-round programme of live performances, film screenings plus a seasonal panto. Golfers of all ages can try their hand with a mini golf course and pitch and putt on the cliff-top, plus a renowned Links course in neighbouring Old Hunstanton.
