Thornham, North Norfolk
Thornham is an ideal holiday destination, perched on the apex of the North West Norfolk coastline and a thriving village. We are pleased to announce three new properties in Thornham for your consideration.
What does Thornham offer holidaymakers?
Thornham's best-known pub is The Lifeboat Inn, situated as it is near the ancient coal barn* which used to supply the village. The locals may argue that other establishments are better such as The Orange Tree Inn and Restaurant. The truth is, that Thornham has come a long way in recent years and now has
- The Lifeboat Inn
- The Orange Tree Inn and Restaurant
- The Chequers Inn
- The Thornham Deli
- Eric's Fish and Chips
- The Yurt Thornham
What this means is that holidaymakers can now try a new place to eat every day of the week without leaving the village. Please note that some of them are a little out of the village and will require a short drive.
* The Coal Barn has been the subject of countless paintings over the years, situated at the water’s edge in Thornham Harbour it enjoys unrivalled and unique views and is surrounded by National Trust land. The barn sits alone adjacent to the beautiful marshes and creeks in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
During the 18th century, the Norfolk coastline was notorious for smuggling when wool, tea, tobacco and alcohol were unloaded off the creeks at Thornham. The Coal Barn was recently used in scenes from the BBC production of Great Expectations.
