Norfolk...........which is of these areas is best/nicest etc.

[Dave7]

Following my recent post (thanks for all the pointers) we have got a short list of 4 cottages that tick all (or most) of the boxes.
I realise its all personal choice but as I don't know Norfolk at all I would appreciate any comments from those who know these places and surrounding areas.
Some of the names sound made up

Heacham............this is on the North, near the Wash.
Little Snoring.......also in the north. Near Fakenham and some 15 miles in-land.
Aldborough..............about 10 miles below/in land from Cromer
East Bilney........just above Dereham which is on the A47 (TBH probably to far in land but a possible)

To reiterate..............we like walking, bird watching, site seeing, I like cycling,
we like the coast, fancy a day or 2 cruising on the broads (we did think about a week but that
idea has gone)
Thanks again for any input.

Out of those I would choose Aldborough. Nicest, most diverse area, IMHO

Well it is normal for Norfolk.

I know a bloke that went there, he caught crabs.






Off of the pier that is.

We were at South Creake which is a few minutes drive from Fakenham.

Easy access to the Northern coast which is lovely. The 'Broadsey' bit is not too far off either.

I don't know Aldborough but I'd say Heacham is the best of the rest for the described interests: coastal (but northwest coast rather than north), good walking, OK cycling, two bird reserves (Snettisham and Titchwell) fairly nearby, on the coast hopper and fast bus routes... but it is an hour or so from the broads is the one drawback.

I tried when we went, never got anything though.

Probably the best choice - just a few miles up the coast is Hunstanton, where Fatbirds is located
