4 RURAL ESCAPE 

Time and space 

to unwind 

Escape to West Norfolk, a 

magical mix of unspoilt coastline, 

idyllic rural landscapes and open 

space, where you can truly relax, 

unwind and slow down to a 

better pace of life. 

So easy to get to, yet so relaxing, West Norfolk is the ideal 

destination for a holiday or short break. Spring and autumn, 

winter or summer, this special landscape provides so much 

opportunity to slow down and cherish the wonderful 

environment, wildlife and heritage. The stunning coastline, 

much of it an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’, is well 

known for its vast stretches of soft sandy beaches, great for 

lazy summer days, but also fantastic for invigorating 

winter walks. 

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 

magical landscape, dotted with church spires and windmills is 

a wonderful tapestry of rural England at its best. 

To the south of King’s Lynn, the ancient town of Downham 

Market is a gateway to the mysterious and magical Fens, 

where the sheer sense of space, vast skies, wildlife and total 

tranquillity are not to be missed. 

West Norfolk gives you time to explore and enjoy some 

truly fine landscapes at your own pace. 

Why not take the opportunity to 

• Bring your binoculars – the wildlife is fantastic. 

• Laze out on the beach or invigorate your senses on the 

wide open coast. 

• Stroll along tranquil waterways. 

• Explore charming unspoilt villages. 

• Escape from the car – hop on the Coasthopper bus 

to explore the beautiful coastline.

6 HERITAGE 

1 

A journey of discovery 

Brim full of history, West Norfolk 

is a treasure trove of houses, 

windmills, castles and heritage 

sites to discover. King’s Lynn is a 

real jewel of a town, steeped in 

maritime and trading history. 

The fascinating history of King’s Lynn dates back to the 12th 

century when it was one of England’s most important ports. 

This heritage is reflected in an amazing array of historic 

buildings and at two magnificent market places: Saturday 

Market Place where King’s Lynn Minster is surrounded by 

splendid buildings and Tuesday Market Place, quite possibly 

one of England’s grandest squares. The town’s Hanseatic 

history and trading links with Europe can be explored on the 

self guided Hanse trail. A great place to start your visit is the 

iconic Custom House, home of the Tourist Information Centre 

and maritime display. Ask for a copy of Discover King’s Lynn. 

A highlight of any visit to West Norfolk is of course 

Sandringham House, the Royal Family’s country retreat. Not

2 3 

4 

far away is Houghton Hall, a splendid Palladian mansion with 

award-winning gardens and parkland. The stunning village of 

Castle Acre is truly rich in history with the impressive priory, 

castle, earthworks and Bailey Gate making this a great place 

to visit. Indeed throughout West Norfolk many fine churches 

are well worth a visit, including the church at Burnham 

Thorpe where the Reverend Edmund Nelson, father of 

Admiral Lord Nelson, was rector. 

To the south the ancient Saxon town of Downham Market, 

popularly known as ‘The Gingerbread Town’ because of the 

buildings made from the distinctive local carrstone, is the 

ideal base from which to discover the fascinating heritage of 

the Fens.

pools and enjoying the sea. The town’s excellent awardwinning 

gardens, are ideal for an afternoon stroll. With the 

traditional entertainment venue of the Princess Theatre, a fun 

fair, Sea Life Sanctuary, boat trips into the Wash, pony rides 

and all the other elements of an excellent family resort, 

Hunstanton is the perfect base to enjoy the coastline. 

For water sports, the West Norfolk coast provides excellent 

conditions for sailing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, water skiing 

or canoeing.

Sunnymead Holiday Park ★★★★ HOLIDAY PARK 


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: 

Unrivalled for comfort and relaxation and so handy for Norfolk’s points of 

interest. Mr T Eames 

Perfect base for enjoying the beauty and peace of Norfolk. Mr D Garner 

Probably the most quiet, relaxing holiday you could wish for...nothing is too much 

trouble for the owners...I would not hesitate to recommend Sunnymead Holiday

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.

IN AND AROUND 

DOWNHAM MARKET 

2011 SILVER GILT AWARD WINNER 

TOWN CATEGORY – ANGLIA IN BLOOM 

Dating back to Saxon times, 

Downham Market is a gateway 

to West Norfolk and one of 

the oldest market towns in 

Norfolk. The attractive 

market place is immediately 

identifiable by the splendidly 

unusual black and white clock. 

The town retains a really 

intimate feel, characterised by 

many fine buildings, a bustling 

market on Friday and 

Saturday and a host of local 

independent shops, friendly 

cafés and pubs. 

Downham Market is the ideal centre 

for visiting and enjoying a variety of 

attractions and activities in the 

surrounding Fens. 

Through the pretty village of Denver, 

you can visit and explore the restored 

Denver Windmill with its tearoom 

serving freshly baked cakes and bread. 

Just down the road from the 

windmill is the fascinating Denver Sluice 

complex, instrumental in the drainage 

and water management of the Fens. 

This is a fascinating place to explore, 

watch the boats, have a picnic or pop
