Thornham
At the western end of the North Norfolk coast, Thornham is situated on the scenic A149 coastal road, roughly half-way between Hunstanton and the Burnhams. This is a village of fewer than 500 inhabitants, a quiet backwater compared to its cosmopolitan neighbour Burnham Market, more likely to attract bird watchers to its extensive marshes and nearby Titchwell RSPB reserve than celebrity spotters.
There is a beautiful unspoilt beach for those willing to hike the mile or so out along the coastal
In the centre of the village, locally caught seafood is served at The Orange Tree pub opposite All Saints church – an impressive building with 15th century foundations. Thornham has a third good place to eat - The Old Coach House which serves delicious home-cooked pizzas and is ideal for families.
Just along the coast road heading towards Hunstanton is Drove Orchards which opens seasonally for the sale of a wide range of locally sourced fresh foods from its award-winning farm shop and has an amazingly wide variety of pick-your-own fruits.
