Sea Palling Beach is a hidden gem along the Norfolk coastline. The beautiful Blue Flag beach is not usually too crowded and has plenty to offer in terms of wildlife, amusements and attractions. A perfect place for some relaxation and a swim.

Poppylands

Highlight • Cafe

WW2-themed cafe, so a bit of an unusual atmosphere but easy access and outdoor space make it a good option with a bike.

Horsey Windpump and Café

Highlight • Historical Site

Powered by tea. Propelled by cake.
Owned by the National Trust, the mill (pump), built in 1855, is in the process of being restored. It should be fully functional by autumn 2018. Helpful and friendly volunteers are keen to share their knowledge about the mill.
It was used to pump water from the drainage ditches which are below sea level up into the river.
In the 19th century there were about 250 of them, now only 4 are left, having been replaced by far more efficient (and less romantic) electric pumping stations.
The pump would have been manned by a marsh man and his boy 24/7.

After standing silent since 1943, when the building was struck by lightning, Horsey Windpump has been brought back to life with a winding cap and turning sails. From the top, you're rewarded with magnificent panoramic views of the Norfolk countryside and Horsey Mere. There's also a tea room.
