Why You’ll Love Brancaster
This is it. That piece of Norfolk where your visions of big skies, sweeping beaches and windswept marshes come to life in the most spectacular ways, the pretty flint houses giving this stretch of the iconic coast road a sense of unity and connection in ways that will leave pinch marks up your arms. Yet what makes this slice of coastal life so magical is the difference a few miles can make.
The endless golden sands of Brancaster beach, lined by dunes on one side, a glistening sea on the other and a shipwreck that’s only reachable at low tide. Head to Brancaster Staithe, though, and you’ll find a network of creakes, sailing boats and some of the finest foodie-spots anywhere, while Burnham Deepdale is a paradise for coastal walks and doorstop adventures. With miles of open beach and dog-friendly paths along the coastal trails, Brancaster is one of Norfolk’s most popular destinations for those looking for dog friendly cottages – a true paradise for dogs and their owners alike.
A Brief History of Brancaster
