We’ve only seen windmills from a distance so this mornings
mission was to see a windmill and Thurne windmill was a corker. The bright
white walls and black sky was a great contrast. We walked along the dyke for a
bit, got confused by the sign that was ‘this is not a car park, it’s a
staithe’. What’s one of those! It says it’s for planting corn and for manure,
by the local residents….an order from parliament. We parked there anyway. We
then went onto Horsely but unfortunately the road was closed to by chance, we
stopped at Sea Palling instead. What an amazing fluke! A huge sand beach that
didn’t have people on it! We walked through the big sea wall onto the beach,
Sailor definitely prefers sand beaches to pebble. We walked up to the dunes,
got our feet wet when we were all running in the surf. Definitely our favourite
beach to date.
After lunch and naps, we visited Burgh Castle, a roman fort.
We aren’t big history lovers, but it was really good on a bright We walked
around the ruin, it was much bigger than it looks on the web. It’s free to
visit and the car park is free too, bargain. What did trouble us was that the
opening times stated ‘until reasonable’….what’s reasonable?
