Village
A tranquil and picturesque village making a great destination for those wishing for a relaxing escape. Binham is renowned for the ruins of Binham Priory once a great Benedictine Monastery, parts of which still survive today as the atmospheric Saint Mary's Parish Church. The village has the benefit of a village store, The Chequers Inn a splendid and welcoming traditional pub serving good food and ales and The Parlour cafe that serves breakfast, lunches and afternoon teas. In the centre of the village is a green where you can admire the traditional Norfolk brick and flint buildings. You can step out of your door and enjoy roaming the countryside for a peaceful walk through the village.
History
Binham has an entry in the Domesday Book of 1085 as Benincham, and Bin(n)eham. The entry mentions there were two mills in the area and the landowner was Peter De Valognes. The Binham Priory remains and the Church of Saint Mary which is the remaining nave of the once much bigger priory are in the care of English Heritage and are Grade 1 listed buildings.
Visit
Binham is the inland village of the coastal village of Stiffkey which is a great place to explore the salt marshes and muddy creaks of this area of outstanding natural beauty. An ideal place for walks taking in the scenery and expansive skies, your salty sea dog will love a walk navigating the landscape. The coastal town of Wells-next-the-Sea is close to Binham. with lots of local independent shops in Staithe Street and along the quay to visit. There is also the fabulous sandy beach with iconic colourful beach huts which makes not only for beautiful walks but a superb family day out.

We've had a great week staying at Samphire Barn, exploring the local area. Old Hunstanton beach, Hunstanton promenade, Burnham Market, the huge beach at Brancaster, where we didn't even see the sea! Fish and chips in Wells in the rain and a gorgeous sandy beach in the sunshine in Sheringham, which was nice and safe for children as lifeguards were present. Nice curry at the Taste of India in Holt (worth booking) and pub lunch at the Nelson in Burnham Market. Children also enjoyed nearby play area and footie pitch along with hide and seek around the ruins opposite!
