Happisburgh, Norfolk

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

An attractive village on the north Norfolk coast, east of Bacton.

The tower is 85 feet high, which makes it actually 25 feet lower than the tower of St Mary's church. St Mary's dates to the 12th century, and contains

Happisburgh Manor is an Arts and Crafts style house that has been Grade II listed. Much older is The Monastry cottage, which dates to at least 1101, when it was granted to Wymondham Abey. Manor Farmhouse is another interesting cottage, dating to the late Tudor period.
