This is one place to witness two of the UK's great wildlife spectacles. On big tides, as the water covers the mudflats, tens of thousands of wading birds are pushed off their feeding ground and settle on inlands in front of the RSPB hides.

Norfolk Beaches

One of those beaches that locals in the know refer to as one of Norfolk's best kept 'secrets'. If the main beach in Hunstanton is a touch too bustling for your tastes then go a little further along the north Norfolk coast to Old Hunstanton.

Head to nature-rich Holkham if you're looking for white sands backed by dunes and pinewoods, which has been the setting for many films. The vast sands are ideal for building sandcastles and family days out. Behind the shoreline lies a basin, which, at high tides, fills to form a spectacular shallow lagoon.

Head east along the coast from Heacham, and you'll find Brancaster. The beach is stunning with miles of golden sand and is great for dog walking. These miles of flat sands are also ideal for kite surfing (in designated areas). Nearby are the tidal salt marshes of Scolt Head. When the tide is out you can see an old shipwreck, the remains of SS Vina which was used by the RAF for target practice before the Normandy landing.
