A small seaside town on the North Norfolk coast with an attractive, unspoilt sea front and promenade with wide and clean sandy beaches, earning it the Blue Flag Award. Fishing is still a part of the livelihood of the community putting to sea in small boats, checking pots for crabs and lobsters which are then sold in local shops.
Walks abound in the area, both along cliff tops and in surrounding woodland countryside. Several National Trust Properties are within easy reach.
The town itself is a friendly place, much of it built in the traditional flint cobbles and being well equipped with excellent shops. It has a British Rail connection with Norwich and steam passenger trains run along the ´Poppy Line´ to Weybourne and then inland to Holt.
Travelling west towards The Wash, one passes through many pretty and unspoilt coastal villages interspersed with water meadows and salt marshes. Several well known RSPB bird-watching sites are in the area with haunts such as Blakeney, Cley, Titchwell and North Norfolk marshes only a few miles away.
There are several good churches in the town and each Sunday evening, the excellent Salvation Army band can be heard marching through the town to their open-air hymn-singing service on the sea front.
The Splash Centre provides a large indoor-heated swimming pool complete with chute, wave machine and cafeteria. While for the golfer, two courses are close by.
