Thornham is a picturesque, coastal conservation village with a small harbour, marshes and a wide, sandy beach fringed by dunes and pinewoods. Its creeks were famous during the 18th and 19th centuries for their smuggling activities with gangs of locals unloading contraband alcohol, tobacco and wool by moonlight.
Today the coastline attracts walkers along the North Norfolk Coastal Path, birdwatchers, sailors, golfers and visitors enjoying the beach and many other nearby places of interest including the Burnhams, Wells-next-the-Sea and the Holkham Estate. On the doorstep, Thornham has a church, village stores, a good selection of pubs and eateries and a number of individual shops and businesses at Drove Orchards.
