Location and Exploration

The Old Maltings cottage is situated just off the High Street in Thornham which is a small coastal village of just under four hundred inhabitants and a popular holiday destination all year round. There are extensive and completely uncrowded sandy beaches close by and Thornham beach can be reached by a lovely walk besides the salt marshes from the cottage.

There are two RSPB reserves locally for bird-watchers. The one at Titchwell is only a 5 minute drive or 15 minute walk and Snettisham is 10 miles away.

There is an extensive information pack to be found in the cottage but below are some suggestions for places to visit in the area.
