To ensure you don’t miss out on things to see and do when visiting, we’ve put together a list of recommendations of what you should do when visiting the area. Our holiday cottages like No 4 Back Lane and  Bluebell Cottage are located within the town centre, keeping you close to the action and all of our recommended attractions.

Burnham Market has a wide selection of things for you to do when visiting the area, whether you are taking a day trip to visit the area or you are staying in the village. We have put together a list of things that we recommend that you schedule some time to do.

If you are creatively inclined, a trip to Mable’s Paint Pot is well worth a visit. Providing people of all ages a place to get creative, they offer ceramic painting and decopatch opportunities, with all the materials you need. Please note, that your freshly painted ceramic pots will need to be fired before they are ready to be collected. So if you are staying for a week or longer, try to book this in at the start of your stay.

Just 15 miles from Burnham Market when you are on this part of the coast, why not visit the coast and enjoy time at one of the best beaches in the region. With sweeping sandy beaches, a pinewood, bustling harbour and the famed rows of colourful beach huts, Wells is a great destination for families, dog walkers and couples alike. With a rich history of fishing there are also plenty of highly regarded fish and chip shops that make a delicious and convenient location to stop for lunch.

Due to its unique range of shops, ranging from small independent boutiques to farm shops and jewellers you can find a range of Norfolk souvenirs, clothes, homeware and gifts. All we recommend is making sure you have space in your bag to take home your treasures!

Nelson’s Way is a 404 mile long walk which follows a route from Burnham Thorpe and travels through many beautiful parts of the coast associated with Admiral Horatio Nelson. If you don’t fancy walking the entirety of this route there is a lovely section of the walk, just 11 miles which takes you to Holkham through the Nature Reserve. As with many coastal walks in the region, like the Norfolk Coast Path, there are many sections that can be complete circular walks in their own right and are more manageable in length.

A beautiful reserve that sits on a stretch of the North Norfolk coastline, RSPB Titchwell Marsh is perfect for birdwatchers and nature lovers. The inland saline and freshwater lagoons attract wildlife throughout the year, both local and migrant species. There are many walks and hides located throughout the reserves, so many that you may want to dedicate a few hours to visiting and escaping the normal hustle and bustle and retreat into nature.

With a stately home pride of place in the centre, surrounded by National Nature Reserves, Holkham Hall  is rich in both history and wildlife. There are tours held frequently within the Estate teaching you about the history of the area, as well as Woodland Play Areas for the children. If you are visiting seasonally it may be worthwhile checking whether any events are being held during your visit as there are often events held here throughout the year.
