The coast road
The A149 from Hunstanton to Cromer is the highly popular and scenic route along the North Norfolk coast. The road is the principal coastal route, and carries a lot of tourist traffic during the summer months. Do not be surprised by how narrow it can become as it passes through the pretty coastal villages of the region. The route is equally easily explored by bicycle or public transport.
From west to east, the road passes through:
Old Hunstanton
Holme-next-the-Sea
Thornham
Titchwell
Brancaster
Brancaster Staithe
Burnham Deepdale
Burnham Market is a few km inland from here, and well worth a diversion
Burnham Overy Staithe
Holkham
Wells-next-the-Sea
Stiffkey
Morston
Blakeney
Cley next the Sea
Salthouse
Weybourne
Understand
A quiet backwater, and largely unspoilt coastal region. The landscape is mostly flat and agricultural populated by quaint, if unremarkable towns and villages. The real highlight is the coastline itself, which ranges from the sandy beaches of Sheringham and Cromer to the mudflats of Morston marshes.
