Discover Mundesley
The coastal village of Mundesley became popular with the Victorians, when visitors were brought to the area with the opening of a railway in 1889. Visitors were able to sample the finest air in the country! The railway has long gone, but the fresh sea breezes off the North Sea still attract visitors.
The village is a great starting point for country walks with plenty of footpaths, circular routes and walking trails including Paston Way and and the Norfolk Coast Path. Close by is Southrepps Common, an important area for wildlife with woodland and wild flowers. Mundesley is also on the Deep History Coast Discovery Trail and has its own Discovery Point. Mundesley’s Blue Flag wide sandy beach, with colourful beach huts and shallow rock pools, is an ideal playground for children of all ages, and there is also great year-round sea fishing.
A fine nine-hole golf course built in 1901, sits on the hillside of the River Mun valley and offers unrivalled views over the coast and countryside, which is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. For family fun, there is crazy golf, a skate park, play areas and a tennis court. In the Summer there is a surf school and there are geo-caches for treasure hunters. Throughout the year, visitors can enjoy exhibitions, fayres, festivals and concerts in the village halls and parks.
The charming village has a parade of independent shops; butcher, green grocer, fishmonger, florist, a craft and an art shop and clothes outlet. There are also pubs and places to eat and stay, and the streets are lined with pretty flint buildings and cottages. Mundesley is also home three churches as well as a Maritime Museum, believed to be one of the smallest museums in England! Opposite the museum is a World War II memorial to the men who lost their lives while clearing landmines from the beaches.
Mundesley is perfect for those seeking a traditional seaside holiday in a welcoming village, with scenic walks and lots of family friendly activities.
