It has got to be one of the dullest and most boring towns in the UK. Unless it's greatly upped its game in the last 25 years, then I can't imagine what criteria was used to decide the winners of each round. If you would have taken a short drive from Lynn to say Brancaster to Salthose, just stunning. For me, North Norfolk is one of the finest coast lines in England 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For me, North Norfolk is one of the finest coast lines in England Sadly, for most of my time there, I was without a car (apart from when my then fiance/now wife came to visit) ....... Usually on my day off work, if i didn't fancy wandering around Kings Lynn, then I'd catch the train to London, it was only about 90 mins away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,762 Posted November 29, 2020 Is an hour really a short drive There are plenty of nice places in Norfolk without going to the pretentious and second home dominated north coast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I only moved there for the Wildfowling Perhaps I’m generalising a bit but most places are from Thornham round to Weybourne have a fair element of pretentiousness. And of course locals who grew up in those places can’t afford to live there when they leave nest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted December 1, 2020 There’s always the Dersingham Bog to visit. Talking of Salthouse is the Dun Cow still open ? And how about Cookie’s Shellfish place. I’m in North Norfolk but don’t seem to that far around the coast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
