Stay on the North Norfolk coast
The Orange Tree is a coastal inn with rooms in Thornham, a village on the Norfolk Coast between Holme-next-the-Sea and Titchwell. Staying here provides a base for exploring the surrounding saltmarshes, beaches and coastal countryside on foot, with local walking routes and the Norfolk Coast Path close by.
From the village, footpaths lead towards Thornham Harbour, where tidal creeks, saltmarshes and open skies characterise this part of the Norfolk Coast. Walking west brings opportunities to explore Holme Dunes Nature Reserve, with its sandy beach, dunes and wildlife habitats, while the surrounding lanes and paths connect the village with the wider coastal landscape.
The Norfolk Coast Path passes through Thornham, providing walking opportunities in both directions. To the west, the route leads towards Holme-next-the-Sea and Old Hunstanton, while eastwards it crosses inland countryside towards Brancaster. Individual sections can be explored as part of a stay in Thornham without following the complete long-distance trail.
Nearby Titchwell Marsh Nature Reserve offers further opportunities for walking through reedbeds, freshwater lagoons and saltmarshes towards the beach. Together, these landscapes form part of the Norfolk Coast National Landscape, making Thornham a useful base for discovering the coast, wildlife and surrounding villages independently.
