The National Trust's circular walk at Burnham Overy Staithe starts at The Hero pub and runs about four miles in roughly two hours. It follows the Norfolk Coast Path along the embankment, crosses marshy meadow inside Holkham National Nature Reserve and returns past St Clement's church. A beach extension leads out to the dunes at Gun Hill.
