Norfolk Animals

The Norfolk coast is home to a wide range of animal species, making it the ideal destination for both enthusiasts and families. Visit Park Farm for a guided Deer Safari tour on the back of a tractor trailer, take the Wash Monster across The Wash for a Seal Safari to see one of the world's largest populations of common seals, or visit Hillside Animal Sanctuary to meet all of their rescued farm animals who enjoy a good fuss.

We are incredibly fortunate to share a border with Wild Ken Hill, a rewilding initiative that aims to restore 1500 acres of Norfolk land to their natural state so that it can once again become untamed. Experience something very special by seeing populations of several wild species, including beavers, cattle, wild boar, kites, owls, bats, and more.

Things to Do and Activities

Whether you're riding a bike or walking, there are lots of lovely seaside trails to discover. If biking isn't your thing, consider going for a leisurely stroll (or strenuous trek!) down the coast. Beautiful scenery can be seen all along Peddars Way, including breathtaking cliffs and abundant wildlife. Consider yourself to be somewhat of a water baby? Hire a paddle board to brave the British seas! The ideal date activity is paddling leisurely through the open sea while taking in the local landscape and sunsets! Kayaking is another another ideal sport for couples. Together, rent a kayak and paddle around the stunning Norfolk coast.

Locations for Food and Drink

The Norfolk coast is teeming with independent stores and establishments offering a wide variety of food produced locally. The Rose & Crown has all the characteristics of a traditional Norfolk village inn, including narrow hallways and tucked-away nooks, low ceilings and antique timbers, parquet floors, log fires, great beer, welcoming staff, and a laid-back, informal ambiance. They also welcome dogs with open arms! Try Thornham Deli, which is a little further away and takes approximately 20 minutes to get to, if you're looking for something new. The drive is worthwhile, though, because there are lunches, coffee, and fresh cakes available. Take a stroll down the lovely beach, where birds utilize the dunes as nesting sites, and then unwind with a coffee at the cafe.

How to Find Us

Heacham has bus stops that go to Kings Lynn, Hunstanton, and Wells-Next-The-Sea, making it quite accessible! The Kings Lynn rail line is close by, making it simple to get to Hunstanton. We are located in Heacham, which is a 30-minute coastal walk or 10-minute drive from Seaside town Hunstanton, where you can enjoy a variety of attractions like the Peddars Way cliffs, the sandy beaches in Old Hunstanton, fun-filled arcades, and even Hunstanton's very own Princess Theatre & Sea Life Centre.
