I am pretty fortunate that my holidays fell at the beginning of Thirty Days Wild , so I don’t need to think too hard about what to post. I was staying on the wildlife rich Norfolk coast. 🙂
Day Seven. Rock Pools and Sea Holly. Today we decided to walk along the North Norfolk Coastal Path, from Hunstanton, where we were staying , to Thornham. About six miles or so. The beach at Hunstanton is full of rock pools, so I was hoping to see a starfish perhaps…or maybe a crab. No such luck! I think these guys had got their spoils before we even set off.
I loved the rocky beach at Hunstanton. I suspect If we had hunted more thoroughly we may have found more, but with a bouncy labrador sniffing out sea creatures, we couldn’t linger for too long.
As we neared the next village along the coast ‘Old Hunstanton’, the scenery changed to a perfect sandy beach, amongst the sand dunes.


I posted pictures of the many beautiful flowers growing between Old Hunstanton and neighboring Holme Next The Sea, in my last 30 Days Wild Post ,but here are a few more on the way to Thornham. 🙂



Approaching the village of Thornham, we came across a welcome coffee stop at Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s base at Holme Dunes. A wooden walkway over the marshes then led us to the village, where we caught a handy Coast Hopper Bus back to Hunstanton.

Day Eight. Beach Huts and a Bee. I posted a separate post about today’s fantastic trip to see The Seals at Blakeney Point. Before that we had a lovely walk along the beach at Wells Next The Sea. A sudden short shower sent us fleeing to the porch of a vacant Beach Hut to shelter, and weather watch.



Day Nine. Our last day in lovely Norfolk. Sob! A quick early morning walk along the beach at Hunstanton, and I find a Heart shaped Pebble. I think this sums up our stay. We will return. X
Thanks for dropping by. X
Very nice. I have never been to this part of England I am adding it to my list of places to visit.
It was my first time there. Its lovely, lots of wildlife. And no hills! I like looking at hills, just not climbing them. 😉
More wonderful places! Wells is a favourite here too, the woods have dinosaurs in (according to my little boy!)
Well that would be wild. 🙂 xx
I don’t know this part of the country, thanks for sharing. I love the beach huts which seem to be set at odd angles.
I loved those beach huts! i suspect there will be a future beachy hut post. 🙂
What wonderful photos! Perfect for #30dayswild and even better for a holiday, serious envy from me! X
It was great to be on holiday. Back in Sunny ( ish) Lancashire now.:)
What beautiful photos of such a lovely place! Thank you so much for sharing, and warm greetings from Montreal, Canada.
Thanks so much Linda. 🙂
I love your pictures! I cannot stop looking at them, Shazza!
Thank you. You are very kind. 🙂
