Things To Do

THINGS TO DO ON SUNDAY

After dining on Sausages and left over beer and filing up a binliner of rubbish you may want to make the most of being in the country. The closest pub to Frankstock is The Nelson in Burnham Thorpe. It is open midday to 10pm. Great beer garden if the weather is good. They also serve food. Directions: Turn left out of sight and follow the road round, then right and stay on that road (which runs the length of Burnham Thorpe) until you see the pub on your left and a recreation ground on your right.

BEACHES

There are a few: BURNHAM OVERY STAITHE- this is the closest to Frankstock but involves a (beautiful) walk and maybe some wading to get to the sea. Directions: Turn left out of the site (at the end of the drive) and go straight over a crossroads will you come to a T junction and can see the sea. Turn left here and first right , then park up and ask anyone how to get to Scolt Head, Gun Hill OR- if you just want a quick swim ask for Dead Man’s Hole.

Pub: The Hero

HOLKHAM- This is probably the best beach in Norfolk.

Directions: Turn right out of the sight and right at the first major junction you come to. Then stay on the coast road and follow signs to Holkham.

Pub: The Victoria

FOOD

BURNHAM MARKET has lots of shops, some normal, others a little OTT.

Directions: Turn left out of sight and follow the road round, then right and stay on that road (which runs the length of Burnham Thorpe) until you get to signs to Burnham Market. It is just a couple of miles.

Pub: The Hoste Arms. Probably the naffest pub in England but the food is good and the garden is nice.

WELLS-NEXT-THE-SEA: Strangest place on earth. Great if you want fish and chips, a fry up, amusement arcades or just want to go and look at oversized holiday makers. Directions: Turn right out of the sight and right at the first major junction you come to. Then stay on the coast road and follow signs to Wells.
