Snettisham
Snettisham village is a wonderful place to visit with traditional village amenities, including local shops, eateries, historic buildings and warm, friendly locals. It is the ideal base when exploring the delights of the area like Royal Sandringham, the much loved RSPB reserve, Snettisham Beach, the beautiful 14 th century St Mary's Church with its spectacular stained glass windows, the famous Norfolk Lavender fields in the neighbouring village of Heacham, the seaside resort of Hunstanton and so much more. For tourers, day trippers and holiday makers alike, Snettisham offers a welcome that will bring you back.

Snettisham nature reserve is the place to witness two of the UK's great wildlife spectacles. On a big tide as the water covers the vast mudflats of The Wash, tens of thousands of wading birds are pushed off their feeding grounds and onto the roost banks and islands in front of the RSPB hides.

In the middle of winter, a dawn or dusk visit may reward you with the flight of thousands of pink-footed geese, which commute between their safe roost site on The Wash and farmland inland where they feed on the aftermath of the sugar beet harvest.

In the summer, large numbers of common terns and black-headed gulls nest on the reserve and there is a spectacular display of shingle flowers. To help you plan your visit, the RSPB has produced Birdwatcher tide tables. These include details of the best tides for watching roosting wading birds and the best phases of the moon for seeing winter wild geese flights.
