      Seehunde in Sicht

      September 3, 2019 in England ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      Früh aufwachen war heute angesagt...ist wohl normal wenn man zeitig ins Bettchen geht 😉. Nach dem Frühstück ging es dann auch weiter...Richtung Norden...

      Zu erst war es nicht so schön, zwei, drei mittel große Städtchen mit viel Verkehr. Aber danach wurde die Landschaft wieder uriger und die Sträßchen enger...

      Ulli, die "beste Navigatorin", hatte uns nach ca 1,5 h einen Zwischenstopp rausgesucht...eine Seehundkolonie 😊...sehr gut...das gucken wir uns an

      ...und tatsächlich...hier schwimmen, tauchen und spielen die posierlichen Tierchen en masse rum...und das ziemlich nah am Ufer...Klasse      Read more

      Another Church

      July 25, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      Die Kirche von Cromer ist echt schön und eindrücklich! Ebenso das Denkmal und die mit Cosmea/Schmuckkörbchen bewachsenen Grabstätten! Das rechtfertigt ein Spontanstopp auf der Bus-Haltestelle - oder? 😎Read more

      Walk the Norfolk Coast Path

      July 25, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      Rahel hat Lust, ein Stück des schönen Weges zu gehen. Nayra und ich fahren mit dem 🚗 bis nach Blakeney - dort treffen wir uns wieder. Meine Links-Fahren-Premiere klappt soweit gut - sonst ist Rahel unsere Top-Driverin! 😍 Blakeney ist ein idyllisches Küstenstädtchen (via Kanal verbunden) - fast schon etwas verschlafen. Wir flanieren entlang des Hafens, sehen Familien beim Krabben fischen, Leute auf SUPs, in Kajaks und natürlich auf Segelschiffen - chilliges Beachfeeling halt! Wir kochen Röschti - müssen dafür aber die Flügeltüren als Windschutz zur Hilfe nehmen… es hat ordentlich Wind hier… (siehe Bilder von Nayra) … tolle Abendstimmung!!Read more

      Wells-next-the-Sea to Brancaster Staithe

      April 16 in England ⋅ 🌬 8 °C

      We take the Coastal Hopper 36 bus (free for people of a certain age) from Old Hunstanton to Wells-next-the-Sea and get off at Quayside to resume the Norfolk Coastal Path.

      We follow the coastal path to the lifeboat station, where it diverts across and through Holkham Nature Reserve. We walk along the outskirts of pine woods and then along alongside salt marshes and the tidal foreshore. We then turn sourh west through the Overy Marshes, water meadows, and the Overy Creek towards Burnham Overy Staithe, a hamlet and small harbour one mile north of Burnham Overy (Staithe means a landing place for boats in the local dialect).

      We walk close to the Burnham Overy Staithe Windmill, a Grade II listed Tower Mill that is now holiday accommodation, where the coastal path doubles back around the Norton Marsh and then goes on west past Deepdale Marsh and down to Burnham Deepdale. We then walk on to the neighbouring village of Brancaster Staithe - a landing place / harbour for the nearby Brancaster- with more saltmarsh on our right.

      Then it's back on the 36 bus, for a well-deserved cup of tea after a lovely 12 mile walk (despite the wind and rain at times!)      Read more

      Deal-4-Seals

      July 25, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

      Da ich immer Ausschau nach ‚Seals‘ (Seehunde) hatte, meint Rahel: Mach einen Seals-Bootstrip! Gesagt getan. Timing ist perfekt - wir kommen nachmittags in Morston am Quay an, um 15:15 startet eine Tour. Die nette Lady ‚schmuggelt‘ mich noch aufs ausgebuchte Boot. Gespannt fahre ich raus. Die zwei Guides sind lustig und sehr unterhaltsam… irgendwann hören wir ‚5 minutes to the Seals‘ und prompt tauchen die ersten Schnauzhaare eines Seehund-Babys im Wasser auf. ❤️ Um die Ecke taucht eine kleine Kolonie Seehunde auf, die ein Sonnenbad geniesst sich sich räkeln. Wow! Was für ein grossartiges Erlebnis!!! 😍😍😍 Später sehen wir badende Seehunde: Plötzlich taucht ein Kopf auf, dann wieder unter und weiter weg wieder auf 🤩🤩🤩Read more

      Felbrigg Hall, Gardens and Estate

      February 25 in England ⋅ ⛅ 6 °C

      We're off to Cromer in Norfolk for a couple of nights and stop off at Felbrigg Hall en-route (to make full use of our National Trust Membership!).

      Felbrigg Hall is a 17th-century English country house noted for its Jacobean architecture and fine Georgian interior.  We visit the house interior (see captions on photos); it is very attractive and interesting.  We look round the Walled Garden (not the ideal time of year to do so, unfortunately) and then head off from the Hall on a circular walk via the Estate (seeing St Margaret's Church and Felbrigg Lake) and through the nearby villages of Metton and Sustead; it is 6.2 miles and a good walk.

      After that, it's off the Cromer Country Club, where I enjoy a swim, hot jacuzzi, steam room, and sauna before dinner!  A good day.      Read more

      Eastgate

      June 1, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      Étape 17, je suis à Eastgate ce soir. C'est un hameau rattaché à Cawston, dans le Norfolk. Très longue étape aujourd'hui (100 km), mais avec peu de relief, donc c'est passé sans trop de difficultés. La seule que j'ai eu, c'est de trouver le camping, c'est ballot... Celui que j'avais trouvé lors de la préparation n'était pas où je l'attendais, j'ai dû en trouver un autre dans le coin.
      Le Norfolk est une zone très agricole, comme sa voisine le Suffolk traversé hier. De grands champs de céréales, quelques vaches, et c'est à peu près tout. Cependant, la splendeur de certains édifices religieux montre qu'il y a eu une période de richesse et de culture ici.      Read more

      Blickling Hall, Gardens, and Estate

      February 27 in England ⋅ ☁️ 5 °C

      After a visit to Cromer yesterday, as part of a circular walk from the hotel, we are now on our way home and visit Blickling Hall en-route (this is also a National Trust property).

      Blickling Hall is a Jacobean stately home built on the ruins of a Tudor house; this is believed to have been the birthplace of Anne Boleyn, one of the future six wives of King Henry VIII.  During the Second World War, RAF air crew were billeted here while its owner, Lord Lothian, influenced Winston Churchill’s actions; the Hall was the Officer's mess, whereas service men where in Nissen huts. Blickling Hall is very large and really beautiful, a jewel in the NT crown; we are able to walk round parts of the ground and first floors (see captions on photos) - the Long Gallery, now the library, has 12,500 books and is the largest book collection cared for by the NT.  

      We visit the Gardens - seeing the parterre garden, the Doric Temple and the Orangery - before setting off on an Estate Walk (excellent maps are provided by the NT).  We walk up past the lake behind Blickling Hall and across to the Great Wood, seeing The Mausoleum; this large pyramid was built in 1794 for John Hobart, the second Earl of Buckinghamshire.  Then it's across to The Tower; this was built in the 18th century as a grandstand for the steeplechase racecourse that occupied what is now Tower Park (now a grazing area).  Then it is through Plantation Wood and via Pond Meadow to Blickling to pass the Church of St Andrew on our way back to Blickling Hall. It has been another excellent walk; this is followed by a quick lunch and the journey back home to reality!      Read more

      Blakeney Town Beach

      August 13, 2018 in England ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      So what’s Blakeney?
      Well it isn’t the Riviera of Norfolk.
      No ocean, that appears to be a couple of K away.
      There’s a winding mud flat to the sea where local and imported English children go crabbing with nets or slosh around in the mud. Forget the days of going home with sand, we are talking mud, mud, mud.
      Full of people renting cottages, God alone knows what they do after crabbing.
      Sit by your car and read the paper or line up for ice cream is the answer.

      Is is however a great town.      Read more

      Sheringham to Weybourne

      May 17, 2021 in England ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C

      Sheringham is another seaside resort and we enjoy our walk along the promenade; we see more beach huts, as well as fishing boats and lots of groynes along the beach front (physical barriers to limit the tidal movement of sand and sediment moving along the shore).

      We climb up to The Leas Garden and Shelter and then rejoin the clifftop path along the top of Weybourne Cliffs; Sheringham Golf Club is on our left and it is a long course! Further on we see Weybourne Windmill and then reach Weybourne Hope, heading up to the village here to visit Weybourne Priory - the standing remains are Grade II listed and attached to Weybourne All Saints Church.
