Swallows and Amazons

Family Adventures on the North Norfolk Coast

A sailing treasure hunt in the salt marshes of North Norfolk

“It was like exploring a place that you have seen in a dream, where everything is just where you expect it and yet everything is a surprise.”
— Arthur Ransome, Swallows and Amazons

We’ve partnered with the wonderful team at Norfolk Hideaways to create a one-of-a-kind family sailing adventure on the North Norfolk coast.

Inspired by Arthur Ransome’s beloved classic Swallows and Amazons, families sail out into the wild beauty of the Norfolk salt marshes aboard our traditional wooden mussel flats, setting off on a nautical treasure hunt through winding creeks and hidden channels.

Young explorers will search for clues, scan the marsh for secret landmarks, and experience the excitement of real adventure under sail. It’s a chance for families to step into a story—combining imagination, discovery, and the magic of the North Norfolk coast.

A perfect addition to a Norfolk family holiday, bringing the spirit of adventure to life on the water.
