If your trip to Walsingham is all sorted out but your itinerary is a bit on the empty side, let us give you a helping hand.There’s nothing more enjoyable than visiting new places. While you’re in the area, Wells-next-the-Sea Beach and Holkham Hall should be among them. If you still have plenty of stamina and room on that itinerary, The Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham is also whispering your name.

The beauty of having your own rental car is that you can travel anywhere, anytime. Make the most of your newfound freedom by exploring all there is to do in Cromer. It’s just 19 miles away. Cromer Beach ought to be high up on your list here. Cromer Pier and Sheringham Beach are also not to be missed. The locals will also probably point you toward Swaffham, 20 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Swaffham Golf Club. (But we’re also big fans of Castle Acre Priory and The Green Britain Centre.)

There’s nothing quite as nice as winding down the car window and feeling the warm, salty air on your skin while you’re cruising beside the sea. Pack some supplies and spend an afternoon soaking up the sun at one of the wonderful beaches near Walsingham. Top options include:

• Wells-next-the-Sea Beach (6 miles away).
• Brancaster Beach (11 miles away).
• Sheringham Beach (15 miles away).

Sure, it’s possible to explore Walsingham without wheels. But with so much to see and do, having one will definitely make your trip all the more memorable. If you’re excited to head out into some nature, opt for something with a little extra power. A full-size car or an SUV could be exactly what you need. A smaller car, like a mini or a compact, is a great choice if you’re only taking shorter trips.

You’ll be happy to hear that there’s a great range of luxury vehicles to rent in Walsingham. What you opt for will depend on how much you want to spend as well as what you plan to do. Specialty and prestige vehicles offer unparalleled mod cons and comfort. If you want to treat yourself, why not book an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps a cushy medium-sized vehicle? Otherwise, if you’re just after a car to zip around town in as economically as possible, maybe go for a versatile compact vehicle (or something else that’s unlikely to break the bank).
