The village of Heacham itself has many amenities such as a small supermarket, post office, and of course, several local pubs, or guests can head over to the Victorian coastal town of Hunstanton, with even more amenities and known for its distinctive stripey cliffs and ideal kite surfing opportunities. Embark on a journey under the sea at SEA LIFE Hunstanton, home to a plethora of magnificent marine life. Wander the breathtakingly beautiful Norfolk Lavender fields, offering an array of charming colours, tantalising fragrances, and fascinating tours. For nature enthusiasts, a trip to the RSPB Snettisham is essential, a wildlife haven with views to remember. History buffs will marvel at the intrigue of The Wreck Of The Steam Trawler Sheraton resting on Snettisham Beach, a stunning coastline spot for a day of sun, sand, and sea. Satisfy your taste for adventure with a long walk at Ringstead Downs, an enchanting natural landscape offering spectacular views and diverse wildlife encounters. Further round the coast in either direction, or travelling more inland, you are surrounded by North Norfolk's AONB and stunning coastline and numerous historic market towns and villages such as Holme, Thornham, Brancaster, Cley next the Sea, Blakeney (perfect for spotting seals basking on the sandbanks at low tide), and further round Burnham Market, Holt and Fakenham. This location is simply a haven for walkers, cyclists, golfers, and those with pets looking to take in the local scenery. Visit the Holkham Hall Estate, Blickling Hall, Sandringham House and Gardens, Oxbrough Hall and many RSPB and wildlife attractions. Your stay at Malthouse Farm will not only be filled with relaxation but also incredible coastal adventures and natural beauty.
