North Norfolk
Salt marsh, shingle and the easiest good weekend within reach of the Midlands.
North Norfolk is flat, which makes it easy driving and superb walking. The coast path runs continuously from Hunstanton to Cromer.
Blakeney Point seal trips run year-round; the winter colony is bigger and the boats are emptier.
Sites here open early in the season and stay open late, which makes it a reliable March or November option.
