Stay at a historic Thornham inn

The Chequers Inn is a historic pub with rooms on the High Street in Thornham, a village on the Norfolk Coast. With accommodation above the pub and in a neighbouring cottage, it provides a base for exploring the village, nearby beaches and surrounding coastal landscapes on foot.

Thornham is surrounded by saltmarshes, tidal creeks and open countryside within the Norfolk Coast National Landscape. From the village, local footpaths lead towards Thornham Harbour, where a historic harbour building, moored boats and tidal channels form part of the coastal landscape. The harbour and surrounding paths offer opportunities to explore the area's maritime history and wildlife.

The Norfolk Coast Path runs through the surrounding area, connecting Thornham with Holme Dunes Nature Reserve to the west and the coastal villages towards Brancaster to the east. Shorter circular walks can combine sections of the trail with village paths, quiet lanes and the saltmarshes around Thornham Harbour.

Nearby Titchwell Marsh Nature Reserve offers further walking through reedbeds, lagoons and coastal habitats towards the beach. Together with Holme Dunes and the surrounding coastline, these places make Thornham a useful base for exploring North Norfolk independently, whether walking local routes or spending several days discovering the wider coast.
