Hi Bernard and All!
Just returned from a short stay at a caravan site in Hunstanton, Norfolk. Being late March, we were out of season and therefore limited to our sightseeing. We did, however, manage to visit a few places of interest: The Nelson Walk in his home village of Burnham Thorpe is well worth the (in our case, much-needed!) exercise, a haunting experience at the majestic ruins of Creake Abbey, and an in-depth walk around Castle Rising – a fine example of early-medieval architecture complete with the shell of a rare Norman church nearby – seat of the Howard family. We did notice several ‘Howard’ memorials in the church at Burnham Thorpe, including a brigadier, so obviously they must have had considerable influence in Norfolk over the centuries. In the village of Castle Rising is a fantastic tea room with friendly service and great food! If I don’t mention it by name, hopefully I’ll get away with limited advertising… But I am also grateful to the staff for accepting my barefooter lifestyle. Anyway, these places are well worth the visit. I’ll be going with my sister again on a day-trip to Sandringham – one of Her Majesty’s residences – and hopefully this time fit in a Sea Safari embarkation from Hunstanton.
