The sweep
of beach at Wells-next-the-Sea- and those jolly beach huts. |
This may
seem somewhat disloyal from someone who lives by the sea at
Gorleston but my favourite part of the county has to be North
Norfolk.
Wonderful
though Gorleston beach may be with its golden beach and the
Blue Flag flying, what I really enjoy is the view you get of
the saltmarshes at either Blakeney or Wells-next-the-Sea.
Both offer
that wonderful vista, framed by the buildings of the High Street
in the case of the former, and Staithe Street in the latter.
You can
stand high looking down towards your destination. The marshes
and the wide, open sky stretch out and beckon.
And in the
case of Wells there's the prospect of that bracing walk along
the sea wall until you reach the Lifeboat Shed and those oh-so-jolly
beach huts.
Keep going
and you have smooth, wide Holkham Beach stretching on to infinity.
Even on the wildest winter's day when the sand is whipped up
like a snow storm there's the alternative walk back through
the richly-scented pine woods.
Where else
could you find a sheltering forest right next to the beach?
Perfect!
