Winterton on Sea Tourist Information |
|
The delightfully unspoilt village of Winterton-on-Sea lies on the east coast of Norfolk. It is only ten miles distant from the bustle of Great Yarmouth, but its a million miles away in character. When you first enter the village, the imposing sight of All Saints Church stands tall and elegant, as if to meet you. The village has a small store, chip shop and post office. There is also a wonderful old pub, The Fisherman's Return, to the rear of which is a large building, affectionately called the "Tin Ho". The village is home to some extremely old and beautiful cottages, one still having the old Anderson Shelter in the garden. At the end of the village, you come to a car park and cafe. The coast watch tower is a relatively recent addition, the old one having fallen into the sea due to coastal erosion. The wide expanse of sand dunes topped with marram grass is home to adders and the rare natterjack toad. Behind that the beautiful long sandy beach stretches as far as the eye can see in both directions. I've been very fortunate on occasions to see seals pop their heads out of the sea very close to the beach, as well as watching them porpoise their way through the waves as they make their way along the coast. Overlooking the dunes and the sea is a family owned leisure park, Hermanus Leisure. Here you can stay in one of the thatched round houses, or if you prefer, a more traditional chalet. Winterton-on-Sea is a truly relaxing place to spend a holiday, or even just to visit. However, if you want to be more adventurous, the Norfolk Broads are within easy reach, as is the city of Norwich with its wonderful cathedral and castle. Description by Margaret Marchant
