This boardwalk in Norfolk on the Norfolk Coastline is just amazing. If you are looking for a sunset walk/stroll or are a mobility scooter user it’s a place of peace and tranquility. Seating on the boardwalk in several locations as well as passing places albeit the boardwalk is well over a meter wide trough up it’s length of approximately 1.8miles. Car parking is not a problem, but always remember to check the tide times as the car park is flooded in some months of the year and the hight of the tide. #tjx_ontheroadagain

Beautiful, wide open landscape - you imediately know why Norfolk has been described as the 'land of the big skies' here! With relatively few people about we enjoyed the rustic coastal charm in peace and quiet while appreciating the abundance of coastal flowers dotting the marsh in early July. It's everything I've grown to love about visits to Norfolk here. Plenty of options for those looking to taste local seafood nearby, too.

Beautiful harbour. Next to large sailing club and close to The White Horse pub for fabulous views and seafood. Large car parking area but likely busy in summer especially. We parked easily on an August Wednesday afternoon. Can be muddy and wet underfoot.
