BRANCASTER
STAITHE --
derives its name
from Branodunum,
the Roman Fort
and Staithe mean-
ing landing place
or harbour.
Although the fort
is no longer visible,
the earthworks
(property of the
National Trust)
can be accessed
from the Coastal
Footpath to the
west of the village.
The main feature is
the natural harbour, cre-
ated by large sandy
beaches, the salt marsh-
es and Scolt Head
Island.
Brancaster Staithe is
particularly famed for
its mussels during the
winter months and for
fresh-caught crab and
lobsters during the sum-
mer seasons.
The oyster fishery also
farms Gigas oysters,
which can be eaten all
year round.
Local shellfish can be
obtained direct from the
fishermen, or can be
found on local pub and
hotel restaurant menus.
The harbour is also
the home of a thriving
leisure, boating and sail-
ing community.
Here boats can be pur-
chased or hired, with
sailing lessons available.
(See local adverts.)
Scolt Head Island
(managed by English
Nature) is a nationally
important bird sanctu-
ary, particularly famed
for its large colony of
nesting sandwich terns.
Ferry to Scolt Head
runs during the season
from Burnham Overy
Staithe,
The harbour area,
with its ever-changing
tidal scenery, is an
excellent venue for
artists and photogra-
phers at all times of the
year. Take a short, but
interesting, walk round
the harbour, or just sit
and watch the wildlife
and human activity
around you.
The National Trust
owns and manages
Brancaster Millennium
Activity Centre, residen-
tial Field Study Centre
situated in Harbour
Way. It runs various
courses for children and
adults throughout the
year.
