I’d second Norfolk, Holt is a lovely little town and nearby Weybourne has a fantastic beach with a long coastal walk. There is a vintage railway that links them to Sherringham for an old fashioned seaside experience.

Norfolk. We have fantastic coast, heathland, forests, The Broads, scores of pretty market towns, no motorways and we are not densely populated.

West Wales so many beautiful quiet beaches and coastal villages. Saundersfoot/Wiseman’s Bridge near Tenby is a favourite of mine.

Suffolk/Norfolk lots of stunning beaches and the walking is fabulous.

Anglesey another great spot, we have done some great walks here.

Finally Saltburn on sea, good beaches and more great inland walks.

Would be very grateful for any gransnetters recommendations. What we’re looking for: a coastal holiday in England or Wales. (Scotland is too far for the time we have available).
Not Northumberland or Cornwall this time because we know (and love) them very well.
What we would hope for: beautiful scenery, quiet, walkable beaches, (so firm sands), lovely countryside and interesting places to visit.
We’re not looking for lively resorts or entertainment.
We’re a couple in our 70s, fortunately quite fit and well, and would be travelling by car.
Suggestions welcome, please!
