The sky feels bigger here — flat Norfolk light stretching over meadow grass, the coast close enough to taste salt on the breeze.

Rectory Hill welcomes tents, campervans and caravans onto what feels like proper countryside camping, the kind where you're pitched on grass with space to breathe and the Norfolk Coast AONB just a short drive away. It's well-placed for families wanting beach days at Wells or Holkham, couples exploring the coastal path, or anyone chasing that wide-open East Anglian quiet. The details are minimal — this is a site that keeps things simple — so it's worth calling ahead to check what's available onsite and whether you can light a fire when you arrive.

Expect an unfussy, back-to-basics feel. It's Norfolk camping as it should be: quiet pitches, big skies, and the sort of place where you bring what you need and enjoy the lack of fuss. Perfect if you value location and simplicity over bells and whistles.

Cley Heritage Walk

Meanders through the historic coastal village of Cley next the Sea, taking in the iconic windmill, flint-walled cottages, and salt marshes. Mostly flat on pavements and well-trodden paths, making it suitable for families with young children and pushchairs on the village sections, though marsh edges can be uneven. Dogs welcome on leads through the village. Offers a compact dose of North Norfolk's maritime heritage, birdwatching opportunities, and atmospheric coastal scenery without needing hiking

Salthouse Circular

Follows gentle footpaths and quiet lanes around this coastal village, with some modest inclines inland but nothing challenging. Perfectly suitable for families and reasonably accessible for all-terrain buggies on drier days. Dogs welcome throughout. The draw here is sweeping views across salt marshes to the North Norfolk coast, classic flint cottages, and a peaceful loop that captures the area's unique coastal character without the crowds of nearby hotspots.

Gramborough Hill and Salthouse Circular Walk, Blakeney

National Trust logoNational Trust

Loops through classic North Norfolk coastal scenery, mixing clifftop paths along Gramborough Hill with salt marsh edges near Salthouse. Mostly flat with one moderate climb at Gramborough offering sweeping views over Blakeney Point and the marshes. Too long for young children and pushchair-impossible due to narrow coastal paths and uneven sections. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock and ground-nesting birds (seasonal restrictions apply March-August). Brilliant for birdwatching and big skies.

Blakeney Freshes Coastal Wildlife Walk, Blakeney

National Trust logoNational Trust

Meanders along flat coastal marshland and shingle banks with big skies and birdlife galore. The compacted earth paths are mostly pushchair-friendly though can get muddy after rain, and shingle sections need sturdier wheels. Dogs welcome but must be on leads during nesting season (April-August) to protect ground-nesting birds including terns and oystercatchers. Fantastic for young nature enthusiasts who'll love spotting waders and seals hauled out on sandbanks at low tide. The panoramic views acr
