The Norfolk Coast Path and the Hoste Arms, Burnham Market - 24th May 2025

Isobel sorts out a near-Birthday treat of a night in the Hoste Arms in Burnham Market, in North-west Norfolk. As it's only the one night, we make the most of it by getting there early and then - after a quick look around the pretty town itself and a snack of delicatessen pork pie - heading out for a decent six-mile walk from Burnham to Brancaster Staithe, via a part of the Norfolk Coast Path. After a pint in the Jolly Sailor, we pick up the Coastliner "party bus" back to Burnham in time for a couple more beers in the bar before an excellent dinner.
