A DOG’S FAVOURITE PLACE TO WALK, STAY AND PLAY
holkham.co.uk
TITCHWELL
You can park at the RSPB car park (charges for non-members
apply) and walk along the path through the nature reserve to
the beach, so long as you have your human on the lead. It’s
approximately 1km to get to the beach but it is a very nice walk
and the beach is lovely. Drinks and snacks are available at the
RSPB visitor centre. Birds nest here in the spring and summer
so be careful not to disturb them and, like at Holme, keep away
from any cordoned off areas. There are also many birds that
feed on the shoreline so be careful not to scare them as they
lose valuable energy flying away.
BRANCASTER
Another nice, sandy beach. Very popular in the summer but if
you carry on walking for about half a mile it gets quieter. A very
small section has doggy restrictions from the 1st of May to the
15th of September. There is a pay and display car park, toilets
and a small snack shop.
BRANCASTER STAITHE
We often have a paddle at Brancaster Staithe Harbour. We also
take our canoe out here which is great fun. There is no access
on foot to the beach but you can walk along the Coast Path
through the marshes. Please stick to the path as it can be
dangerous to veer off it and very muddy. You can walk through
the marshes to Burnham Deepdale and even on to the next
village of Burnham Overy Staithe and beyond, if you’ve still
got the energy! Do take plenty of water with you as the Coast
Path is exposed to the elements and there is no shade!
BURNHAM DEEPDALE
There is no access to the beach here but you can walk along the
Coast Path to Brancaster Staithe or go the other way towards
Burnham Overy Staithe. There is a nice dog friendly café here,
an information centre and also a campsite.
BURNHAM OVERY STAITHE
The creek at Burnham Overy Staithe is very pretty with boats
bobbing about and in the summer there is usually an ice-cream
van parked up (yum yum!!). When the tide is in the car park
can get very busy. From here it’s approximately a one mile
walk along the embankment to the beach but it’s worth it as the
beach is lovely and very quiet. There are no facilities on the
beach so make sure you have plenty of water with you and some
form of shade. You can also walk along the Coast Path through
the marshes. The Coast Path will take you on to Holkham Beach
or into the pine forest.
HOLKHAM
A lovely, vast sandy beach which has enough room for
everyone so never seems crowded. There is a pay and display
