Places to stay in Bacton
Bacton is a village and civil parish in Norfolk, England. It is on the Norfolk coast, some 20 km south-east of Cromer, 40 km north-west of Great Yarmouth and 30 km north of Norwich. Bacton on the north Norfolk coast stands between Mundesley and Happisburgh. It is a picturesque village where time seems to stand still. Sand pools form and adults and children alike can spend many an hour exploring the marine life in them. You will find pebbles of all kinds on the beach including Amber and Agates. Through the ruined gatehouse on Abbey Street, you will find the remains of Bromholm Priory, once one of the most holy places in Europe. Monks purchased what they believed to be a piece of the original crucifix from a priest. Its famous Gas Terminal lies to the West of the village, but the village itself has something for everybody, a wide and spacious sandy beach and along the coast to the west stand wonderful cliffs which reveal fossils of an ancient forest.
