The Village of Binham

Binham is one of the prettiest villages in Norfolk, full of brick and flint properties and featuring the ruins of Binham Priory. It has a general store, a petrol station, a superb butcher and a good pub, all within a short walk from Abbey Mews.

The Coast

Binham is a perfect location for exploring the delights of the area. The North Norfolk coast is only two miles away with its famous salt marshes, a haven for some of Britain's best bird watching. The coast also boasts some excellent sailing and the Norfolk Coastal path runs from Hunstanton to Cromer, providing some great walks. There are many fine beaches including the superb expanse of sand at Wells and Holkham.
The delightful coastal villages of Blakeney and Cley are only a few miles away and the fine Georgian town of Holt with its multitude of small shops is also close by.

Sport and Leisure

There is some fine walking to be had, either from the cottage itself or on the coast and the Norfolk cycle route runs straight past Priory View. (There is a bike shed on the grounds for your use).
The Abbey's tennis court is available at no extra charge, and for golfers the great links courses of Brancaster, Hunstanton and Sheringham are all with a half hour's drive.

Country Houses

The fine National Trust houses at Felbrigg and Blickling are both about 15 miles away and Sandingham, which is well worth a visit, can be reached in half an hour. The magnificent Holkham Hall and estate is within 6 miles.

Eating and Drinking

Remarkably for a rural area, you will find six entries in the 'Good Food guide' within 10 miles of Binham. That and the fantastic local produce available (crabs, mussels and samphire) make the area a food lovers dream. In addition to Binham's own pub, the Chequers, there are several to eat at in local villages.

On arrival you will find our own 'TOP TIPS' guide giving you more information on all these delights and much more.
