Those precious months bookending the summer solstice when the sun reaches its apex in the sky, our beautiful Norfolk coast gives the Mediterranean a real run for its money. Still, any regular visitor knows to expect the unexpected and that means packing for all seasons.
Prep for all forecasts with this handy guide.
- A light rain coat Functional outwear is a must for any Norfolk summer, but it doesn't have to be bulky. We like a waxed Barbour taking us from a brisk coastal walk from Blakeney to the Dun Cow. Gun Hill has a great selection of seasonal jackets for men and women, and a local brand, to boot.
- Wetsuit or long sleeve one-piece With cold-water swimming fast becoming a year-round phenomenon in Norfolk, a slick one-piece can be a great investment. Finisterre and Helly Hansen have a selection that boast both style and substance for those North Sea dips.
- Hiking boots Whilst wellies will never go amiss, Norfolk was made for wanderers and we would treat your feet to some comfy walking shoes or hiking boots. Have a look at Morston Country Sports for a wide selection of Merrell walking boots and shoes.
- Smart blazer Just because most of the holiday is spent mucking in mud, doesn't mean we can't dress-up. Channel rural-chic with Fairfax & Favor's range of tailored blazers - perfect for a night out Morston Hall, Gunton Arms or any one of Norfolk's fine eateries.
- spotted-seal cotton cap Don't be fooled by the variable weather, when the sun shines, it shines bright. Stay in the shade and turn heads sporting our vintage wash, spotted-seal cotton cap.
- BONUS ENTRY spotted-seal hoodie Well, duh. Be it our signature slouch or classic, either take you effortlessly from the shingled shores of Sheringham to a post-beach slice of the finest pizza at Stubby's in cool, comfortable style. Pack them for Norfolk, wear anywhere that feels home.
