The photo is of wonderful Blickling Hall, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, but the National Trust has many places to explore and to run free in North Norfolk. Including the Brancaster Estate, Morston Harbour (and Seal Trips) Snettisham and Titchwell Nature Reserves. The houses to visit and explore are as special as you would expect, including the 16th Century moated Manor House Oxburgh Hall, which houses remarkable embroidery done by Mary Queen of Scots and extraordinary Felbrigg Hall with stained glass that dates back to the 15th Century.

Fabulous kitchen shop on the Holkham Estate as well as the more obvious craft beers and huge range of spirits and wines, including their terrific quality range of Adnams made beers and spirits. The barley and wheat for their beers and spirits are grown locally, on the Holkham estate and even closer to The White House on Sussex Farm. Everything is distilled in Southwold, so it is a genuine East Anglian enterprise. We are happy to serve these from our Honesty Bar at The White House.

There is always something happening on the Holkham Estate - from Country Fairs, to Open Air Cinema, to Huge Outdoor Concerts, Walks from the Wells Beach Cafe, Cricket Matches, not to mention the huge open beach and magical Pinewoods at Holkham and Wells next the Sea (BBC Countryfile beach of the year 2017) and the Hall itself - We absolutely love it.

The most beautiful coastal walk - between Hunstanton and Cley. Choose your section and just bask in the huge open skies and wonderfully unspoiled coastal views. The Brancaster Staithe section of the path is recommended in The Daily Telegraph's Walk of the Week. Of course, everyone has their favourite stretch. Mine are the bite size chunks between Brancaster and Brancaster Staithe and from Burnham Overy Staithe to Wells - which includes the spectacuar stretch of Holkham coastline and from Morston to Blakeney. So many great pubs along the way too, a few of the ones we like are: The Hero, Wiveton Café (seasonal, as seen on the BBC's "Normal for Norfolk"), The Anchor and, right on the path in Brancaster is The White Horse.

Ice cream van, Local seafood Shack, fishing, lobster and sailing boats, lovely little port and a good place for a wander. You can walk there on the Norfolk Coast Path from the bottom of London Street in Brancaster. Avoid visiting just before high tide in the summer season, as there is always a mad rush for everyone to get their boats out, especially when the sun is shining.

Marsh, Lagoons and sandy beach - RSPB Titchwell is well known for the high quality of the birds and the beauty of the landscape. Interesting also for the archeological insights in to the changing coast, all the way back to the Mesolithic Age and including the remains of two Covenanter tanks from WWII. Good facilities to accommodate everyone. About 5 miles from The White House.

Walk for miles on unspoiled, wide open beach, dunes and marsh. Breathe in the ozone rich fresh air and let your cares float away on the breeze - in the winter, it is a bracing one. While away magic summer days pottering about in the water, there is always plenty of room for everyone. Only about 4 miles from The White House and the absolute best spot to watch the sun go down, winter or summer.
