BLUE SKY THINKING The north Norfolk coast is the perfect place to clear the mind with a seaside walk
GREAT ESCAPES
WHY IT’S GREAT At the edge of the RSPB salt marshes on this wild stretch of the north Norfolk coast, Briarfields Hotel is an ideal spot for a seaside holiday without the arcades and candyfloss stalls. Take a stroll along sprawling Brancaster beach to the nearby estuary and you may be lucky enough to spot a colony of seals basking on the banks. Once you’ve had your fill of sea air, head back to base for an Adnams gin and tonic on the deck or, if the weather turns, on the squishy leather sofas.
