The Ostrich Inn is ideally located in the heart of north Norfolk, with rolling countryside and within easy reach of market towns, bird reserves and miles of glorious beaches. The Norfolk coastline is owned and protected by the National trust and its diversity ranges from mud flats, shingle and golden sands each with its own beauty. The mud creeks of Stiffkey and Morston lead you through samphire fields and wild bird reserves. Cley’s shingle beach bank is one of the largest along this coast which stretches as far as the eye can see. The golden sand that links Holkham beach (our favourite) to Wells beach is a great escape. You can walk through the thick scented pine woods, tall sand dunes covered in marram grass or just on the outstretching sand flats leading to the sea looking at the miles of sky above you. If you are a keen bird watcher North Norfolk is a Mecca for all type of birds and great throughout the whole year. With a number of reserves along the coast you are spoilt for choice.
