Brancaster Estate

Brancaster Estate

Extensive coastal area famous for wild birds, sandy beach and Roman Fort

Famous for its mussels, the fishing village of Brancaster Staithe lies on the shores of the beautiful north Norfolk coast. Follow the history of the fishing industry at Brancaster Quay, enjoy one of the many courses available at the flagship Brancaster Activity Centre.

The Staithe offers a great place to start exploring the coast, if you're sailing you can launch a boat (voluntary launching fee applies) and sail in the sheltered waters of Scolt Head Island; or if you venture a little further west along the Norfolk Coast Path you will find the Roman Fort of Branodunum, a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

Continue a little further along the coast and find Brancaster Beach, where you can enjoy miles of golden sand for long or short walks, a great place for building sand castles and also specific area for power kiting sports.
