Walcott is a small seaside village on the North Norfolk coast. With its long sandy beaches, traditional seaside shops, a cafe and public toilets it's a perfect park up for relaxing on the beach, using it as a base for exploring the beautiful North Norfolk coastline and Norfolk Broads or enjoying a beer and food at the now infamous (amongst vanlifers) Poachers Pocket pub, which is right on the sea front.
