About

The Heacham and Snettisham area is a coastal stretch of northwest Norfolk, characterised by wide, open skies and low-lying farmland. The shoreline consists of expansive sandy beaches and tidal mudflats, with the landscape gradually rising inland. The villages are compact, centred around historic churches and greens, with local agriculture and fishing forming a traditional economic base.

A significant portion of the foreshore is managed as nature reserves, attracting large flocks of wading birds, especially during high-tide roosts. The shingle ridge at Snettisham is particularly noted for the spectacle of thousands of knots and oystercatchers taking flight. This environment supports quiet coastal walks and a pace of life dictated by the rhythms of the tides and seasons.
