The pretty coastal village of Mundesley is some seven miles south-east of Cromer on the Norfolk coast. It is within the Norfolk Coast AONB and was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. The beautiful sandy beach, which is overlooked by colourful beach huts, is one of the cleanest around. There are plentiful sands stretching for miles with very little shingle. A few years ago it was voted the Best Blue Flag Beach in Britain.
In WWII the beaches in this part of the country were very heavily mined in order to deter an invasion, and it took many years and cost the lives of a number of bomb disposal experts to make all the beaches safe again. There is a memorial to them on the top of the cliff.

This will be my last posting for a little while as we are going down to our holiday home in Cornwall for two or three weeks. Very many thanks to you all for visiting my photostream and leaving so many nice comments, which I very much appreciate. I'll try and catch up with you when we get back.
