SIX OF THE BEST - NORFOLK 2

England's coast stretches around 2,800 miles - not a lot by continental standards, but the variation available around it is considerable. My favourite bit is the North Norfolk Coast - a stretch of about 40 miles of gentle, almost unpopulated (for England), flat, undeveloped landscape. It's not the sort of place where huge mountains, and "big" scenery impress you. But, whenever we come here, the calmness and non pushy nature of the people and the place drains all the stress out of me.

There's a series of little villages, some for the boating fraternity, some more working fishing villages, along the coast where the local shops serve whatever seafood has just been caught a few yards away. That's fresh!

Anyway, I like it, and below, I've put together a few pictures of the coastline.

SIX OF THE BEST - NORFOLK 1

We visit Norfolk quite a lot – its beautiful, understated countryside, its gentle non pushy people, its excellent seafood and its glorious, varied and usually almost deserted beaches and coastline make it very easy to “chill out” there.

I’ve started to put together my own photographic view of the area, and this set of six images is the first of a few sets I’ve taken so far of the area around Burnham Overy Staithe, Blakeney, Brancaster and the coast towards Cromer.

I've called the set of pictures - "Big Skies and Small Boats".
