The Lifeboat Inn

Salt air reaches Thornham before the sea is visible, and The Lifeboat uses that distance well: it stands near the village edge, looking towards fields and marsh rather than promenade glare. The A149 is the controlling road, with Hunstanton to the west and Burnham Market/Wells to the east; the final approach along Ship Lane is narrow, residential and best taken slowly. Parking exists but fills fast in holiday weeks, and the Coasthopper-style bus network makes a car-free visit possible if one accepts limited evening flexibility.
