South Creake

is 7 miles from Wells and Holkham and 4 miles inland from Burnham Market in the attractive North Norfolk countryside. There are fabulous beaches at Wells, Holkham and Brancaster and the coastline is owned by either the National trust, the RSPB or the Holkham Estate, so has remained completely unspoilt. But North Norfolk has much more to offer than just the beaches – there is Holkham Hall, Houghton Hall and a few miles away the National Trust property Blickling Hall , and the Sandringham Estate.

There are RSPB reserves at Titchwell and Cley, several narrow gauge railways – Walsingham to Wells is the nearest and longest, and in South Creake itself a maize maze and a fishery. Wells is an attractive sea side town, and Burnham Market and Holt are Georgian gems. Burnham Market has up market food and clothes shops, and the whole of the area has excellent restaurants and cafes at all price levels.

There is golf at Brancaster and Hunstanton and sailing along the coast from a number of small harbours. There is good walking in the area; the Peddar’s Way runs near South Creake, and for the less energetic, seal trips to Blakeney Point, or crabbing at the various quays, and horse racing at Fakenham in season. Pensthorpe, the home of BBC Springwatch is 1 mile outside Fakenham !
