About Ivy Cottage
Take a wander through the quiet lanes of Syderstone, where the heathland stretches wide and the coastal winds carry the scent of wildflowers, and you may well see the honeybees of Ivy Cottage Bees working happily across North Norfolk. From hives tucked near the salt‑kissed marshes to colonies nestled beside sandy paths and meadow edges, our bees gather nectar from some of the county’s most beautiful, unspoilt places. Now rooted in Syderstone, our beekeeping continues to grow from a deep love of the craft, and we’re proud to share the golden honey and beeswax gifts created by our colonies as they forage along this extraordinary stretch of coastline.
Syderstone sits in the heart of North Norfolk, close to places like Burnham Market, Fakenham and the sweeping coastal paths that lead towards Wells‑next‑the‑Sea. Our base here gives us the space to run our workshop and keep bees on site, making it an ideal spot for visitors who want to see an apiary up close. Whether you’re joining us for a talk, a hands‑on session or simply to learn more about beekeeping, Syderstone offers a calm, accessible setting with everything in one place.
