North Creake
A charming village approximately 3 miles inland from Burnham Market and 10 minutes drive to the beautiful coast at Burnham Overy Staithe.
North Creake is home to the historic site of Creake Abbey which was an Augustine priory founded in 1206, where ruins now remain. Here some of the outbuildings have been used to house Creake Abbey Studios which holds a Farmers Market on the first Saturday of each month and is now recognised as a centre for artistic talent in North Norfolk. Here there is a wonderful collection of paintings, jewellery, home furnishing and garden accessories and a cafe serving delicious light lunches and cakes.
There is a good local pub - The Jolly Farmers - which serves locally sourced home-cooked food throughout the week.
