Two Magpies Bakery
Lovely cafe for eat in or takeaway coffee, croissants, cakes, sandwiches and more
Great food and Cley is worth a visit for its art galleries, pottery shop and Windmill. There is a good circular walk you can do from the house - take the longer, coastal path route on the way there and return via the Coast Road.

Particularly nice in the summer due to the outdoor dining and relaxed cafe setting. Plenty of space for children to run about and they do take away pizza evenings in the summer too so worth taking a look at their website for more.

Typical seaside town with a good range of shops, restaurants and a pretty harbour (a good spot for crabbing). Arcades and fish and chip shops are in plentiful supply. The town is also a short walk to Wells beach which is well known for its colourful beach huts. You can hire a beach hut for the day via The Happy Huts.

Pretty local village with lovely deli, art gallery and pottery shop. The recently refurbished George pub also does great food. There is a windmill in Cley and also a pebbly beach a 15 minute walk from the village itself which is good for swimming. You can also drive and park at the car park right next to the beach.
You can do a good circular walk to Cley from the house - take the coastal path on the way there for a more scenic route (approx 45 minutes) and then return via the Coast Road (approx 20 mins).

Take a trip from Burnham Overy Staithe to the magical Scolt Head Island Nature reserve. Sandy deserted beaches and beautiful views await. Lovely for walks all year round and for a day swimming and sunbathing in the summer. Small ferry boat runs daily 2 hours each side of high tide so check times before you go. The Hero pub in Burnham Overy is a great spot for a meal or drink too.
