idyllic rural landscapes and open

Perhaps less known but just as magical are the vast areas
of wonderful rolling countryside, full of fascinating and
attractive villages, where cottages of flint or Norfolk carrstone
cluster around ancient village ponds or village greens. This

is a treasure trove of historic
houses, windmills, castles, some
beautiful churches and a host of

A highlight of any trip to West Norfolk is a visit to
Sandringham House, the Royal Family’s country retreat. The
house, museum, country park and gardens are all a delight.
Not far away is splendid Houghton Hall built in the 1720s
by Sir Robert Walpole. The hall is one of the finest Palladian
houses in the country, set in 450 acres of Deer Park with a
5 acre award-winning walled garden.
Just along the coast the stately Holkham Hall and its
parkland is well worth a visit, whilst Oxburgh Hall near
Downham Market is a beautiful Tudor House with a
magnificent gatehouse and moat.
The stunning village of Castle Acre is truly rich in history
with the 12th century Castle Acre Priory, ruins of its Norman
castle and Bailey Gate at the heart of the village.
Just north of King’s Lynn is Castle Rising Castle. The huge
12th century keep stands at the centre of massive earthworks
and there are wonderful views from the ramparts.
Throughout West Norfolk are some fine churches. Many
are notable for their medieval works of art and craftsmanship
and beautiful stained glass windows. Also of historical note,
All Saints Church at Burnham Thorpe is where the Reverend
Edmund Nelson, father of Admiral Lord Nelson was rector.

HoLmE-nEXt-tHE-sEA
An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty –
LOCATION...LOCATION...LOCATION – be at one with nature!
Visit Sunnymead Holiday Park and experience the delightful ambience of Mother
Nature’s rich coastal tapestry: big open skies, large sandy beaches and miles of
coastal footpaths, where flora and fauna abound and wildllife nestles in undisturbed
natural habitats. All nature photographs were taken at Holme-next-the-Sea.
You will receive a friendly welcome and stay in one of our eight well maintained,
centrally heated static homes on this family-run holiday park. Whilst being easily
accessible by road, the holiday park is tucked away between the church and two
meadows, and is adjacent to a bird reserve. If you enjoy birdwatching, walking and
generally having a peaceful holiday in serene surroundings look no further!
All static homes sleep four people in two bedrooms and are non-smoking (two
homes are pet friendly). They each have Freeview TV and a DVD player; prices are
inclusive of gas and electricity – the bed linen is also supplied.
Customer comments:
Lovely views from the windows across the fields with lots of wildlife.
The peace and quiet on site helps you truly relax and unwind.
Peace and tranquillity, wonderful location near beach and pub, fabulous walks.

King’s Lynn Minster
St Margaret’s Church was founded in 1101 by the first
Bishop of Norwich, Herbert de Losinga, to be the
church for the town and for the Benedictine Priory
connected to it. The magnificent church can be found
in the heart of historic King’s Lynn alongside other
splendid buildings.
In 2011 the current Bishop of Norwich, supported by
the Borough Council, designated St Margaret’s as a
Minster Church. This status reflects the service that it
offers beyond its locality, to West Norfolk and the
Diocese of Norwich, as well as its size and outstanding
historical and architectural significance.

2012 GOLD AWARD & OVERALL WINNER
COASTAL RESORT CATEGORY– ANGLIA IN BLOOM
The classic seaside resort of
Hunstanton, or ‘Hunston’ as it
is known locally, is renowned
for its award-winning beach,
unique striped cliffs and
magnificent sunsets, made
special by its position as the
only west-facing resort on the
east coast.
There are two sides to Hunstanton, the
elegant Victorian resort with its
Esplanade Gardens and sedate air of a
traditional resort and the buzzing family
resort with attractions such as the Oasis
Leisure Centre, Crazy Golf and Pitchand-Putt
Course. You can take a boat
trip to see the seals, visit the Sea Life
Sanctuary, try the water sports, check out
the Princess Theatre, or enjoy the
Funfair and seaside amusements.
Past the stunning cliffs, Old
Hunstanton has more of a village feel,
with cottages built of Norfolk carrstone,
pubs, hotels and an excellent beach.
You can walk from one resort to the
other, so you can enjoy the buzz of the
resort in the morning then spend a lazy
afternoon lying amongst the dunes.
MARKETS
Regular markets on Sundays and Bank
Holiday Mondays.
