バーシャムでののおすすめライド

Probably one of the best beaches you could ever visit.

I saw a family of seals on the beach!

Burnham Market and Burnham Thorpe both have a pub named after the area's most famous son. This one shows that marketing cash-ins aren't a new thing: the name was changed from The Mermaid in 1805 to celebrate the connection.

The road surface is averagely lumpy and manhole-filled. At least it isn't covered in chippings I suppose.

A small and undistinguished muddy puddle.

Notable landmark, standing on the edge of the low hill that looks out across the Burnham marshes.

Fairly unexceptional parish church, noteworthy for the fact that the south wall re-uses Roman masonry blocks from the fort of Branodunum just to the east of the village.

If heading west, it's at the foot of a fast drop-down taking you into two right-angled corners, first a left then a right. Now a National Trust holiday let.

I can think of nicer places for a break than a layby with no amenities while the traffic on the main coast road whips by. Still, a novelty to see an AA box these days.

The scenic birthplace of England's greatest naval hero. The wide green and double street is surrounded by chi-chi shops for the North Norfolk Coast tourist trade. There's a bakery for coffee, savouries and buns, as well as a tea room and cafe if you want to sit in.

No evidence left of the airfield now other than this marker stone, standing in a little triangle of grass in front of a small wood.

A 2km arrow-straight driveway across the Holkham Park estate, overlooked by the impressive obelisk. Largely traffic free apart from a few vehicles accessing the estate.

Impressive country house set in enormous landscaped grounds, with free through-access for cycles. The cricket pitch on the north lawn by the house and lake must have one of the best settings in the country!

Hugely popular seaside town. Plenty of cafes and refreshment places but sometimes too busy in high season.

For Anglicans who want to cosplay as Catholics.

The narrow streets leading up from the quay area get very congested with pedestrians in the holiday season and are best avoided on a bike.

Twisting streets? ✅ Quaint old buildings? ✅ Cafes and gift shops? ✅ Monks wandering around in habits and shops selling statues of the Virgin Mary? ✅ A slightly different take on your usual North Norfolk tourist town.

A nice enough church but presently covered in scaffolding.

Look through the gatehouse on the main village street and you can see the impressive east arch visible through it.

Continue past the RNLI station to reach the beach. The sea disappears into the distance across the sands at low tide.
