Have you ever decided to go somewhere for no other reason than you just haven’t been there before? Well, that’s how we found ourselves in the centre of King's Lynn one Thursday afternoon. With no real destination in mind or foodie places to check out (I know!) we set off into the unknown...
We hoped that King's Lynn would surprise us with some good explores, but after a quick look around the main high street we were perhaps a little disappointed. Time to do what we do best and turn in the opposite direction of the crowds! Without knowing exactly where we were heading, we stumbled across Old Town area. Like stepping back in time, we ended up pottering around the medieval streets, admiring the little details in the buildings and the pastel-y colours of the houses - and of course, taking photos of all the doors!

We’d liked to have spent more time exploring the Purfleet Quay area but it was super chilly and neither of us had dressed for the cold weather yet again (gloves next time)! Plus our stomachs were rumbling (as usual), and having no luck finding anywhere in the town centre that excited us, and Golding's Deli
just being shut up for the day, we decided to head back to the car and drive along to the coast for an Eric's!

Do let us know if we missed any must-see or must-eats in King's Lynn or nearby!

So here we go, attempting to document our adventures online, starting with a little trip from Cley-Next-The-Sea then North to Stiffkey. As always we began our explore hunting for free parking, this time found tucked behind the local village hall and home to an excellent #sundaycarpic opportunity.
When we (Larry) finally stopped oogling we made our way down to the main high street and were greeted with a strong selection of doors, shop fronts and pastries.
After stocking up on essentials in Picnic-Fayre, we headed off for a wander around the village...
A detour through someones garden and across a farmers field (good directions, Lor) we made it back to the car and continued on to Stiffkey. Smaller than expected, our choices were limited on where to explore... but that's not to say we were disappointed. Stiffkey Stores is a little gem tucked away just off the main coast road to Wells-Next-The-Sea. Full to the brim with all the Nkuku homeware, excellent stationery and book selection, and great coffee to be enjoyed inside one of their cosy shacks in the courtyard.
