A Grand Day Out

We travelled the North Norfolk coastline,

To sample its famous sea air.

There were guillemots and sea gulls

Flying around, without a care!

We journeyed on to Cromer

For fish and chips upon the pier.

Should we stop by in West Runton?

To face the mammoth? Did we DARE?

We walked through sunny Sheringham

As the weather was set fair.

 

Holt!  Who goes there?

 

A delightful little Georgian town,

Smiling, friendly people abound,

Replete with shops of some renown!

Relaxing, sun shining, with plenty of time to spare,

To meander down the High Street

And eat an ice cream in the square.

 

Holt!  We went there!

Thanks so much for your comment, Stephen. Yes, you did miss out, I'm afraid! I'm always happy to champion Holt. It's a magical place! 😀

We drove through Holt on one of our Norfolk holidays but did not stop! Obviously a bad decision, as you describe in this marvellously atmospheric poem, John.

Thank you Julie and Russell for your comments. We enjoy North Norfolk very much, though it is a long journey from where we live. Holiday heaven! 😁
Thanks for the likes Holden, Tom and Frederick 😀

For me, this is the road most traveled,
I have done this trip so many times I could visualise each step, thank you for taking me back to beautiful North Norfolk😎
