Stay at a historic coastal inn in Thornham
The Lifeboat Inn is a historic pub with rooms in Thornham, a village on the Norfolk Coast between Holme-next-the-Sea and Titchwell. Set within the village, it offers accommodation for exploring the surrounding saltmarshes, beaches and coastal countryside, with local footpaths and the Norfolk Coast Path nearby.
From Thornham, walking routes lead towards Thornham Harbour, where tidal creeks, saltmarshes and open skies characterise this part of the North Norfolk coast. The historic harbour and surrounding coastal paths provide opportunities to explore the landscape on foot, with views across the marshes towards the sea.
The Norfolk Coast Path passes through the Thornham area, connecting the village with Holme-next-the-Sea and Old Hunstanton to the west, and the coastal landscapes towards Brancaster to the east. Walkers can follow individual sections of the route or combine them with village paths and quieter inland lanes.
Nearby Titchwell Marsh Nature Reserve offers walking through reedbeds, lagoons and saltmarshes towards the beach, while Holme Dunes Nature Reserve provides further opportunities to explore sandy dunes, coastal habitats and wildlife. Both form part of the wider Norfolk Coast National Landscape, making The Lifeboat Inn a base for discovering North Norfolk independently.
