Fishing boats at Brancaster Staithe, Norfolk

Brancaster Staithe is a working fishing village set on the edge of the coastal marshes on the North Norfolk coast. It merges into the adjacent villages of Brancaster and Burnham Deepdale. Many local families still make their living by fishing from the staithe, which has always been famous for its first class shellfish. The village has a relatively large sheltered harbour popular with sailors, with small ship repair facilities (pictured) at its eastern end. Brancaster Staithe is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Scolt Head Island National Nature Reserve is just a short distance away.
