Discover Norfolk

North Creake

The epitome of countryside charm, the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it village of North Creake is positively bursting with pretty cottages, whitewashed inns, medieval churches and a truly serene river that flows through the very heart of the village.

Why You’ll Love North Creake

It truly is one of the most tranquil places in North Norfolk, hiding equidistance between the dramatic coastline and the traditional market town of Fakenham. 

Surrounded by patchwork fields, rolling hills and beautiful water meadows, this quaint little village that sits just a few miles below Burnham Market is a truly ideal base for anyone after a carefree getaway; one filled with rambling walks, mid-morning farmers markets, rustic pubs, age-old abbeys and the most dazzling beaches you could ever imagine.

The pretty village of North Creake

A Brief History of North Creake

Whichever way you turn and stroll, you are bound to uncover a history that will leave you lost for words. That’s part of the magic enveloping this village.

From the incredibly ruins of an old Augustinian Abbey dating back as far as 1206 to the 14th century St Mary’s church that bathes in sunlight, the stained glass windows bringing it to life in the most majestic of ways, this is a village with one foot in the past and the other in the here and now of vibrant village life.

Things to do in Hunstanton

There are many sides to Hunstanton. The cheerful nostalgia of its arcades and colourful beach huts; the sandy dunes of Old Hunstanton and ancient striped cliffs rising above the sea. Days can be as simple as fish and chips on the promenade or as indulgent as Michelin-starred dining. Yet whichever side of Hunstanton you fall for, the sunset always steals the show - spilling gold across the Wash and leaving the lighthouse silhouetted against the last light of day.

Exploring Norfolk by Sail with Coastal Exploration Company 

There are plenty of wonderful ways to experience the beauty of the Norfolk coast, but few make you pause like travelling under sail.   Leaving Wells-next-the-Sea as the morning tide carried us out into the salt marshes, the noise of the harbour slowly fading behind us. Fishing boats became distant specks on the horizon, the chatter of the quay…
