Overview

Starting from Thornham Harbour, we walk inland up to a ridge with fine views over the N Sea coast. We later descend on a sunken path down to the village of Holme where we pause at the church. We then cross a nature reserve before returning on the boardwalk over sand dunes on the coastal path, passing the site of Sea Henge and the iconic coal barn
