North Norfolk is a place that reveals different sides of itself with every season, and Riverbank is designed to be your base for experiencing them all. This guide is arranged to help you plan stays in spring, summer, autumn, winter and year‑round, whether you are visiting for a romantic escape, a family break or a special occasion.
In spring, the landscape wakes up with wildflowers, birdsong and lighter evenings. Expect fresh coastal walks, seal trips in gentler weather and the first chances to eat and drink outdoors as the villages come back to life.
Summer brings long beach days, crabbing off piers, busy harbours and warm evenings in pub gardens or on the river terrace. It is the time for family adventures, boat trips, festivals and exploring the full length of the coast path in sunshine.
In autumn, things quieten down and the colours deepen. Woodland and parkland walks, migrating birds over the marshes, harvest produce and cosier meals out make this a favourite season for walkers, photographers and food lovers.
Winter turns North Norfolk into a more intimate, atmospheric place: dramatic empty beaches, grey seal pup season, candlelit historic houses and long evenings by the fire. It is the perfect moment for slowing down, stargazing and really sinking into the peace at Riverbank.
Finally, the year‑round section gathers ideas that work in any season – from local walks and wildlife watching to favourite cafés, pubs, galleries and rainy‑day options – so you can always find something to suit the weather and your mood.
