Holme Dunes Coastal Walk
Holme Dunes offers a unique chance to explore a diverse landscape. This coastal walk takes you through a stunning open wilderness of sand Dunes, mud Flats and salt marshes, water meadows and pine forests. Rich with biodiversity, these areas are a haven for migratory birds and marine life. Experience the contrast of lush greenery against the backdrop of towering pines. Your walk through the pine forest will lead you to a virtually deserted stretch of beach. Holme Dunes is rich in history. In 1998, a local amateur archaeologist and beach comber discovered “Seahenge” a Prehistoric monument whilst out catching shrimps. This fascinating artefact, now at the Lynn Museum, offers a glimpse into the prehistoric past and adds an element of mystery to this stretch of coastline.
This walk can be any length, depending on where you want to explore! If you're looking for just a short stroll, then you can start at Holme beach car park (crossing a section of Hunstanton Golf Course) and walk to the Norfolk Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve tea room and back again. If you're wanting a little longer, you could carry on through the pine forest to Thornham. Don’t forget - you can always get the Coastliner No 36 bus for your return journey to Holme.
Whether you're a birdwatcher, a history enthusiast, or simply seeking a tranquil escape, Holme Dunes Coastal Walk promises an enriching experience. Bring your camera to capture the stunning vistas and your binoculars for bird watching.
