Our glampsite is only a short walk down from the A149 which is a known pedestrian walkway from locals at Burnham Overy that walk into Burnham, and in just .2 of a mile, you enter Herrings Lane which is a quiet sea road that inclines directly into the centre of Burnham Market.
As you turn into the homestead of the watermill over the bridge down a one-way track and following the duck pond you find your way through some sharp right-angled turns which take you up to Norfolk coast footpath, or alternatively, you can walk along the field separating you from the main road right up to the coastal path and Burnham Overy. A bridleway also skirts the edge of the site across the river burn and into the salt marsh area.
This wild location also offers opportunities to see all sorts of wildlife as they like to wander the marshes you can catch sights of grazing cows, small muntjac deer, swans gracefully swimming down the streams, and hawks flying high above the open fields looking for its next target.
