About

Brancaster ward encompasses a stretch of the north Norfolk coastline, including the villages of Brancaster and Brancaster Staithe. The area is characterised by salt marshes, tidal creeks, and wide beaches, with the expansive Brancaster Bay. The harbour at Brancaster Staithe is a working centre for fishing and sailing, with boatyards and moorings lining the channels. The landscape is largely defined by the sea and the protected environment of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Inland, the ward contains agricultural land and the historic Burnham Deepdale area. The ancient Peddars Way long-distance path runs through here, following the line of a Roman road. The distinctive ruins of a Roman fort, known as Branodunum, are located near the coast, a reminder of the area's long history. Economic activity is closely tied to tourism, coastal industries, and farming, with a focus on the natural assets of the shoreline and its habitats.
