Iconic North Norfolk coastline famous for wildlife and sandy beaches
Five years ago we had the exciting opportunity to host Time Team at Branodunum in Norfolk, the site of a 2000 year old Roman fort. Now the investigation continues, as we extend the geophysics survey to uncover more of its secrets.
Brancaster beach with its wide expanse of golden sands is perfect for Summer sandcastles or Winter wanders, even on the busiest of days there is room to find your own space and get lost in its tranquil calm.
Visit Branodunum, an intriguing Scheduled Ancient Monument. Once the home of the Roman Army, it is now a grassy meadow home to skylarks and a vast variety of insects.
Walk along the Norfolk Coast Path and explore the coastline, taking in the panoramic views of the saltmarsh across to Brancaster Harbour and Scolt Head Island National Nature Reserve (managed by Natural England) beyond. Home to a variety of wildlife, the sights and sounds of thousands of over-wintering pink footed geese flying over the estate to roost with the backdrop of a coastal sunset is an unforgettable experience.
Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points. Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you the Gift Aid Admission prices. But it's entirely up to you which ticket you choose. If you want the Standard Admission instead, just let us know when you come to pay.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid* — an extra 25 per cent — potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below: Payment of the additional percentage donation is entirely voluntary, so if you prefer to pay the standard admission please advise our reception staff at the till point.
| Gift Aid | Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Amount paid by visitor | £11.00 | £10.00 |
| Tax refund from Government* | £2.75 | £0.00 |
| Total received by the National Trust | £13.75 | £10.00 |
*Gift Aid donations must be supported by a valid Gift Aid declaration and a Gift Aid declaration can only cover donations made by an individual for him/herself or for him/herself and members of his/her family.
