DOCKING
Tucked among rolling hills, patchwork fields, and wide open skies, Docking is a village that feels like it’s been lifted straight from the pages of a storybook — complete with a picture-perfect duck pond that wouldn’t be out of place in a Beatrix Potter tale. Friendly faces and delicious local fare are all part of the charm here.
Local Features
Start your day with a walk through golden fields at sunrise, then head to Burnham Market for a steaming mug of freshly brewed coffee. Watch the tides shift at Overy Staithe as the light dances on the water, before retreating to The Duck Inn for a leisurely lunch of great food and fine wine. Afterward, sink into the peaceful rhythm of coastal life — where privacy, calm, and quiet beauty are always within reach.
THE HISTORY OF DOCKING
Docking carries a history that’s as rich as it is intriguing. Echoes of the past are scattered throughout the village — some rare, some mysterious — hinting at a legacy that stretches from the Stone and Bronze Ages through Roman rule and the early Middle Ages. Its storied past even includes a role in World War II, when it served as a satellite airfield for RAF Coastal Command. With so much history beneath its soil, Docking might just be the perfect spot to try your luck with a metal detector.
