Loop round Brancaster Beach - the missing bit

3rd April 2025 | Miles 2.6 | Elevation gain 39ft

A quick 2.6 mile loop at Brancaster Beach to fill in a gap. A navigational error and tide time research failings meant we missed this bit first time around (exactly three years earlier!).

Useful links
The George & Dragon, Cley next the Sea
This was a welcome refreshment stop half way through day 1 - we’d walked for 5 miles along a heavy going shingle beach in a nasty northerly wind with frequent snowy squalls, and so our beer and prosecco tasted exceptionally good!
The White Horse at Brancaster Staithe
Gorgeous restaurant with great views overlooking the marshy coastline of North Norfolk. Big picture windows inside and nice looking outside dining area. We ate here on our first night - the fish was excellent.
The Golden Fleece at Wells
Pub on the quayside at Wells next the Sea - our midday refreshment stop on day 2
The Hero, Burnham Overy Staithe
Conveniently situated right by the bus stop for the 36 Coastliner, we had a beer here waiting for the bus at the end of our second day
The Ship Hotel
We stayed right next to this hotel / pub. We ate there on the second and third nights, given it was so convenient!
The Old Marine Bar
One of our refreshment stops at the end of the walk in Hunstanton, while we were waiting for the bus back to Brancaster
The Sunset Wine Bar, Prince's Theatre
A second and final stop before getting the bus back to Brancaster!
