SITUATION

Binham is a peaceful, unspoilt Norfolk village with a charming mix of farms, cottages and period homes. Being only two and a half miles from Stiffkey it is an excellent location from which to explore the North Norfolk coast - an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Whether it is taking a trip to see the seals on Blakeney Point, birdwatching at NWT Cley Marshes, walking the Norfolk Coast Path or simply messing about in boats, there is year-round activity along the Heritage Coastline.

The village is characterised by the Benedictine Priory ruins, which remain the parish church to this day, it also benefits from a village stores, popular local pub, and the Parlour Café where you can enjoy a delicious meal, coffee and even buy fresh raw milk direct from the dairy. The nearby Georgian market town of Holt has an extensive and eclectic range of shops, galleries, restaurants and pubs, also being home to Gresham’s Pre-Prep, Prep and Senior schools.

Also close by Wells-next-the-Sea is a small town with a big personality. From the late 16th century up until the early 20th century, it was a major port and still attracts a wide variety of pleasure craft alongside the fishing fleet bringing in local crab, whelk and shrimp. The Quay is the focal point of the town dominated by the iconic granary building with its distinctive overhanging gantry.


The town itself, predominantly a Conservation Area, is made up of narrow streets and ‘yards’ leading up from the Quay with many buildings dating back to the early 17th century. There are good local amenities including primary and secondary schools, doctor and dentist, library, food stores, great pubs, restaurants and fish and chip shops as well as interesting independent boutiques and art galleries. Wells Maltings has a community centre with a theatre, cinema and café-bar.

Wells beach offers miles of sand and has a beautiful array of coloured beach huts and, like neighbouring Holkham beach, is fringed by sand dunes and pinewoods . This beautiful part of the world offers many leisure pursuits including wonderful coastal walks, cycling, kite surfing, sailing, golf and birdwatching to name a few.
