Norfolk Coast

Discover the North Norfolk Coast, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on your Private Tour of England with a personal guide. This area is renowned for its beautiful scenery with vast sandy beaches and an abundance of wildlife and nature reserves.

Get up close and personal with the seal colony in Blakeney Marshes with both common and grey seals, or do some birdwatching in the Clay Nature Reserve. Holkham Hall is an exquisite Palladian home housing art and Classical sculptures, surrounded by a landscaped park. Only a mile from the sea is Wells-next-the-Sea with its famous sandy beach and lovely coloured beach huts. During the Middle Ages, this part of the country used to be rich, with monastic houses and many glorious churches with tall towers used as waymarks.

This area has had a fair share of great seafarers, from admirals like Christopher Myngs to Lord Horatio Nelson, who’s known for the Battle of Trafalgar; please see our Portsmouth Historic Dockyard page for more information. In the past brave fishermen tackled the unforgiving North Sea and beyond, trading with Iceland and Scandinavia and serving on the frontline in wars against the Spanish, French and most recently, the Germans.
