Holkham Beach, Norfolk

[angiebaby]

Hi, I'm off to Norfolk in a couple of weeks for a girlie weekend along with horses

Anyone whose been to Holkham beach? if so when ( as in time of day) is best to ride on it? Do you have to ride when tide is out etc. All advise welcome!

The tide comes in awfully quickly and so best to go when it's on it's way out . You can check the tide times easily enough on line. We used to go any time of the day (tide permitting) and it's a lovely big beach so plenty of room for everyone. http://www.hoofmove.co.uk/beachrides.php

Where abouts are you staying? I’ve stayed at Mill farm many times, we normally ride early in the morning or late evenings other wise the beach can be quite busy with walkers and kite flyers!!!

I strongly recommend that use Lady Anne’s drive to get to the beach as the other route is very stoney and as huge dykes either side of the track!!

It is amazing there!

But do be careful about the tides, It was only a couple of months ago that another group got stuck out there when the tide came in.

We're staying at Highfields; a large cottage with paddock just outside Burnham Market; about three miles from the beach.
Thanks everyone for the advice
I'm so excited

More people got cut off by the tide there this week!

I've taken my horse up there twice this year as not far from me and he loves it .... if you are driving there to park up be prepared for the price hike this year .... now £10 to park a lorry ... still worth it but on top of diesel it can be an expensive day out.

Have fun and be safe
