Burnham Deepdale For Easter

[Cal]

We may not have the boat anymore but we still enjoy a trip to Norfolk when we can in the motorhome.

This time it was a trip to North Norfolk.

We left home in Worksop early to avoid the worst of the traffic and after an uneventful run and a pit stop at Farm Cafe for breakfast we were parked up in Wells next the Sea town car park by 9.30am. Far too early to get onto the site we were booked on down the road of course so we had a wander around town and visited the excellent butchers to stock up.

The weather was lovely so we were surprised to see so few boats in the harbour.

After a walk around Wells and a coffee break on the van it was finally time to head the 7 miles back up the coast to Burnham Deepdale where we were booked onto the lovely Deepdale Camping site for a few nights.

The site is lovely and in a cracking location with some amazing shops and fish shacks within walking distance.

On our second day we decided to walk along the coast path to the village of Burnham Overy Staithe. It is only a little 5 miles each way but it is fairly heavy going on the lumpy bumpy path. We knew we had walked the distance when we got back. Luckily there is a lovely pub in the village at the half way point for some refreshments.

And after that long walk we were ready for our mixed seafood dinner bought from the fantastic Fish Shed and cooked in the open air on the Cadac.

The dog looks like he could well deserve the name, bless him!

We decided to stay local for our last day and explored the joined villages of Burnham Deepdale and Brancaster Staithe. The food in the White Horse looked amazing but we already had supplies onboard to cook a roast beef sunday lunch so we didn't eat this time. Definitely will next time though.

The dog was glad of a quieter day.

Love the dogs name badge.

Time to head home on Easter Monday along with thousands of other people. We didn't rush off. We had a lazy breakfast of goose egg and soldiers before taking out time to pack up, which really doesn't take long.

We decided to head to Old Hunstanton on the way home. It wasn't really out of the way for us.

After a couple of hours in Hunstanton we set off back on the road. As expected the traffic was heavy and it took us a good 45 minutes longer to get home than it had taken to get to Norfolk. But we expected that so it came as no great surprise.

Now looking forward to the next outing next weekend to Scotland to visit family.

Oh it is well deserved. 

He was suspiciously on his best behaviour over the long weekend.

A bagette full of Mussels is always from The Crab Hut a must for me when at Brancaster Staithe.
