HOLME-NEXT-THE-SEA

'Holme-next-the-Sea' is a small village (population 322^[1]) on the coast of Norfolk, England. This position makes it a prime site for migratory birds in autumn. It consequently is home to two adjoining nature reserves, one owned by the Norfolk Wildlife Trust and the other by the Norfolk Ornithological Association.
The eastern end of Hunstanton golf links reach to Holme, and public rights of way mean that birders and golfers have learned to co-exist.
It is the nearest village to the Bronze Age timber circle site of Seahenge.
It is the meeting point of the Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path National Trails.
A pair of Black-winged Stilts bred here, at Holme Norfolk Naturalists' Trust reserve, in 1987, raising three young. ^[2]
