A small free house set back behind the dunes at Horsey, the Nelson Head is the natural refuel after walking out to the Horsey seals — grey seals haul out along this shore in their hundreds each winter to pup. Open fires, well-kept ale and a low-beamed bar; the sort of unfussy pub that suits a cold coast walk.
