Weekend in Norfolk
Hello there Fodorites,
Bikerscott and I just got back from a long weekend in Norfolk. We stayed at a lovely B&B at a pub called the Wiveton Bell http://www.wivetonbell.co.uk/ Really nice rooms and perfectly located to explore norther Norfolk!
We ate dinner there both nights (reservations are a must!) and the food was excellent.
We spent our days driving along the seaside and visiting the old flint villages that dot the coast.
Sunday lunch was at a gorgeous pub overlooking the salt marshes. Highly recommend this place: http://www.salthouseduncow.com/
All in all it was a great short break and somewhere that many tourists miss. The pace of life was slow, the people friendly and the food very high quality!

I agree that North Norfolk is lovely. I've eaten at the Wiveton Bell, outside on a hot day, although I've not stayed there as we have a touring caravan.
Also agree that there are some fantastic pubs and restaurants in the area. However, one of our favourite evenings this year was picking up fish and chips from near Cley and then sitting enjoying it on the shingle beach close by.
Will try and visit the Dun Cow next time we are in the area.

You are so lucky to be able to visit these places for a weekend. We [ from Australia] stayed with family living in Suffolk for two years and travelled up to Norfolk. Have a lovely memory of buying some smoked fish and bread rolls in Cley by the sea and enjoying a half pint at the nearby pub.
It is a lovely area.

Lovely pics of one of my favourite parts of the world. My brother used to live in Norfolk and we were forever at Wells-Next-The Sea (had a Boxing Day swim there), or walking through the marshes in Blakeney. Also Great Yarmouth for donuts and slot machines (but don't tell anyone). Btw, did you know you can stay in Cley Windmill - it's a quite posh b&b.

IMO, the best pub in Norfolk at the moment is the Gunton Arms, between North Walsham and Cromer http://www.theguntonarms.co.uk/
Eating the most tender meat cooked over an open fire, looking out onto the deer park is absolute heaven.

The Gunton Arms is great! We were wondering if we would see the deer and as soon as we left the car suddenly there were over 1,000 deer running across the park. A dog frightened them. What a sight. Anicecupoftea - did you notice all the erotic art? Apparently the owners like to collect it.

Thanks ladies
I think Norfolk is kind of out of the way of most peoples travels which makes it a bit special and unspoilt! Definitely recommend it...the coast is very wild and beautiful!
