November in North Norfolk might not be the first thing that springs to mind when you think about a coastal getaway; but perhaps it should. The summer crowds have disappeared, the beaches feel wild and windswept, the countryside takes on those beautiful autumn hues and the first hints of Christmas begin to appear.
There are some wonderfully seasonal things to see and do during the month of November. Including seal pups at Blakeney Point and pink-footed geese arriving for the winter to Christmas markets, food festivals, Thursford Christmas Spectacular, Sandringham's winter events and even just the cosy evenings by the fire, November in Norfolk has rather a lot going for it.
So, if you're wondering what to do in North Norfolk in November, here's what we think makes it's a pretty special time to visit. We also tell the story of how Flock Cottage got its name.
