Bramble Court can be seen in the foreground. In the distance are All Saints church (at right) > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/967818 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/967827 and Trafalgar Court (at left) > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/527300 - both on Cromer Road. Trafalgar Court is located in the adjacent grid square. When the railway opened in 1889 - bringing visitors wishing to sample the fresh sea air - the village of Mundesley grew rapidly. The railway is now long gone but Mundesley is still considered to be one of the best a holiday resorts in Norfolk, offering a sandy beach with safe swimming for children when the tide is out; the East Norfolk Coast Path/Peddars Way follows the coastline and offers splendid views across the North Sea. Properties date mainly from Victorian times and many houses are constructed from traditional Norfolk materials such as flint and brick, with thatch or pantile roofs. The village contains a small number of shops, eating places, pubs, tea rooms and possibly the smallest museum in the country, the Maritime Museum > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/204932. Several holiday parks are in the vicinity of the village, the largest one being Mundesley Holiday Village, located a short distance to the southeast.
