Docking is a popular village just a few minutes drive from many coastal villages with many long sandy beaches to explore. The neighbouring village of Brancaster is a popular place especially with families and dog lovers just a few miles from Docking. At nearby Old Hunstanton children can play in the soft sand dunes against a back drop of impressive beach huts followed by a paddle along the water’s edge.
A little further around the coast discover Wells-next the-sea; with picturesque harbour excellent crabbing can be had. The beaches are adorned with colourful beach huts and endless walks along the shoreline where you can often spot grey seals basking on the sand.
Take a walk along the beach from Wells and discover Holkham beach; a firm favourite including the Queen’s Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment. On summer days listen to the sound of galloping hoofs on the soft sand and watch the cavalry swimming, a glorious sight and one not to be missed. Directly off the beach is Lady Anne’s drive leading you to Holkham Hall which in itself is a great day out for the whole family. Set in a stunning 25,000 acre landscape it is steeped in history and home to the Earl of Lester and his family. With bicycle hire available why not explore the grounds amongst a shady woodland backdrop enjoying picnics in the summer whilst observing the fallow and red deer.
