Grew up in Norfolk in the villages and on the coast. My dad was a village copper back in the days when they existed. Would love to go back but priced out. Now live in the equivalent of hell.

That’s a leap of faith: to move somewhere you’ve never even visited. Visit!

I've lived in Norfolk all my life...sadly about an hour from the coast...I love this county and will never move anywhere else.

My parents moved to Norfolk from London when I was a child... Its the best decision they ever made. I can see the sea from my workplace and be there within a 10 min walk from home.

When they were house hunting (preinternet) we would come and stay on the holiday camps and my parents would look at houses whilst my nan supervised us on site. So that's one way of viewing the area.

What is your budget, who is moving with you, small children teens etc different parts of the county have a very different atmosphere? Is there anywhere else in the country you would like to visit semi regularly as we have no motorways so you want to live the side of the county nearest where you want to visit as it can add several hours to your journey.

Not all of the East Coast is eroding but there are certainly areas to avoid, Hemsby, Happisburgh in particular.

Sea Palling is lovely

Just remember there is extensive coastal erosion on the east coast so don't move too close to the sea.

We're thinking about it ourselves.

Swaffham is a lovely town near the coast.
Cromer is always popular as is Wells-next-the-Sea.

No idea about schools as we're of retirement age.

I'll be watching this thread.
