The quaint village of Ingoldisthorpe is 9 miles north of King's Lynn and seven miles south of Hunstanton, and mid way between Snettisham and Dersingham - both within a mile walking distance. The Coast Hopper bus route runs through the village, and traverses the beautiful coast road. Ingoldisthorpe has an impressive church, St Michael's and All Angels, which was almost entirely re-built in the 14th century and then subject to a comprehensive restoration programme in the mid19th century. It is particularly notable for its stunning collection of late 19th and early 20th century glass. Surrounded by rolling countryside, yet easily accessible to many parts of West Norfolk, Ingoldisthorpe is also situated on the National Cycle Route 1.
Neighbouring Dersingham is a mere two miles from HM The King's residence of Sandringham, and a short drive to the beaches at Snettisham, Heacham and Hunstanton. The village offers excellent amenities including a newsagent, a Co-Op supermarket, a Spar, a garden centre with coffee shop serving breakfast and light meals, a fish and chip shop, and a pottery gallery. To commemorate the Queen's Jubilee, the old railway line was converted into a pathway, aptly named Elizabeth Way, that runs all the way from Dersingham to King Lynn, or Heacham, depending on your direction.
The neighbouring village of Snettisham is bursting with charm. Drop into the great pub, The Rose and Crown which serves good food and has an enclosed garden with a children's adventure play area. The village is well served with amenities including chemist, a local shop, hairdressers, and second-hand book shop, perfect for browsing away a couple of hours. Sample the culinary delights of The Old Bank Cafe on the market square, and take your own wine at no extra charge. Visit micro bakery and coffee shop The Old Store for the most delicious coffee and freshly baked bread topped with local ingredients - be sure to book as this place is popular at weekends! For the children, Park Farm is a lovely place to explore, with hands on experiences including a tractor-drawn deer safari to see the huge herds of red deer roaming freely. The RSPB bird and wildlife reserves at Titchwell and Snettisham are worth a visit. BBC Springwatch and Autumnwatch are partly filmed at Wild Ken Hill, who also offer a variety of pre-bookable guided walks
A short drive away and boasting two dog-friendly beaches, Heacham village is a great seaside destination, and the traditional nearby bustling seaside town of Hunstanton comprises of a vivid plethora of ice cream parlours, delis, fish 'n' chip shops, sweet shops, crazy golf, arcades, water sport facilities, funfair and Sea Life Centre. Heacham and Hunstanton are unique in that they are East Coast that face west, meaning these locations are two of the sunniest resorts in Norfolk, and thus enjoy colourful, dramatic sunsets.
