Set in the pretty, traditional village of Aylmerton, Rosemary Cottage commands an enviable location which perfectly embraces country and coastal life. Local, historic attractions such as Felbrigg Hall - a National Trust gem - and the ancient woodland areas of Roman Camp are practically on the doorstep and provide wonderful walks and outdoor pursuits. The eclectic seaside towns of Sheringham and Cromer are just a short drive away along with the rest of North Norfolk's glorious coastline. 

AYLMERTON In a sheltered valley, which is owned by the National Trust, Aylmerton is a small Norfolk Village situated just two miles from the most scenic part of the north Norfolk coast, an area designated as 'an area of outstanding natural beauty'. The coastline has wonderful sandy beaches with the seals at Blakeney Point, and bird watchers from all over the world visit to view the wide range of bird life.

There are plenty of places to see and visit nearby, including two National Trust locations. From finding fascinating plants and discovering wildlife, to relishing in the great views of the sea and surrounding countryside, there's plenty to enjoy on the West Runton circular walk, taking you through the beautiful West Runton and Beeston Regis Heath.

Felbrigg Hall, Gardens and Estate, one of the most elegant country houses in East Anglia, is also a lovely family day out. Set within 520 acres of woods, parkland and lakes, there is much to explore here both within the historic home and the grounds it is nestled within.

Just over three miles away, with an elegant pier, Pavilion Theatre and grand Victorian villas, many with panoramic views over the pebble and sand beach, it's easy to see why Cromer has perennial appeal to staycationers and permanent residents alike. Spend a morning exploring the pretty boutiques and follow the lanes towards the seafront to pick up a Cromer crab – widely regarded as one of the best found in English waters, the eight-legged crustacean still provides a major source of income for the town's fishermen and simply served with bread makes an unbeatable lunch or supper!

Or push the boat out with fish and chips from No 1 Cromer, Galton Blackiston's award winning Cromer eatery perched on the clifftop. Treat yourself to a relaxing lunch at the Upstairs Restaurant where stunning sea views meet tasty seafood, or join the queue downstairs and enjoy your takeaway sitting on the wall as the seagulls soar above you for a fully immersive 'beside the seaside' experience. Follow the slope down from the clifftop to the beach and walk the shoreline or practise your hand at an afternoon skimming stones out to the horizon line.
