The beach is famous for its traditional red and white lighthouse which is open to the public.

For an unforgettable day out, head to Hoveton, where you can enjoy the delights of BeWILDerwood, offering hours of fun with its adventure park complete with treehouses, zip lines, and mark walks. You can continue the family fun at the Wroxham Barns, where you can eat and shop, whilst the little ones can enjoy the farm and funfair rides.

For a taste of the city life, spend a day in Norwich, home to a grand cathedral, Norwich Castle, a traditional market, and the Norwich Theatre Royal. All this and more awaits with a stay at Lanthorn Cottage.

This historic village brushes the East Anglian coastline in the English county of Norfolk. Its lighthouse is the oldest working light in the area, as well as being the only independently run beacon in Great Britain, dating back to 1790. Its imposing tower of red and white stands proudly on the north-eastern headland surrounded by verdant countryside. You can visit this beautiful structure during public open days and climb the 112 steps up to the lantern. Another notable building in the village is St. Mary's Church, a 15th century landmark, whose tower warned mariners of the position of the perilous sandbanks nearby. This church also has set open days, where you can enjoy splendid views of the sea and enveloping fields from the top of the tower. Enjoy a picturesque stroll down to the beach and watch the lifeboats speedily tackle the untamed seas. There is also a village trail for you to amble, taking you past all the Happisburgh landmarks worth seeing. The village of Winterton-on-Sea is within easy reach by car and boasts a vast beach and wildlife-rich nature reserve that has attracted colonies of Terns and rare Natterjack toads. The old fishermen's cottages and village church makes it an idyllic location to bring the family for a day out. Further afield is the city of Norwich with its two cathedrals and Norman castle, whilst the popular seaside resort of Great Yarmouth offers one of Britain’s largest open air markets. A wonderful destination for your next holiday by the sea.
