We moved on from Houghton Mill to The Rickels near Docking. It is in the middle of the countryside and so we had to drive everywhere, but it is well placed for visiting the coast of Norfolk.
The caravan site was excellent and very well run.

We spent the day at Wells Next the Sea. There is lots to do and see here.
| Bakery shop window | I liked the name |
From the harbour there is a 30 minute walk to the beach (there is also a mini train). The beach here is huge and goes on forever.
Our friends had recommended that we visit Burnham Market to see Pentney Hat shop. Even I have to say that it is very impressive with its huge array of hats for both men and women.

We visited King’s Lynn on Heritage Open Day. As you can see the weather was superb for a wander around the town.

Baroque dancing with a few interlopers.
This is the Greenland Fishery House. It was built between 1605-8 for the merchant John Atkin. This is the last timber-framed house known to have been constructed in Lynn. The sign is on the side of the house.
HMS Victory manned by two ‘sailors’. They were full of repartee.
In April 1792 Captain George Vancouver’s ship Discovery beat a convoy of American ships to the northwest coast of America to declare the land as “British Columbia”.
