Cley Marshes Nature Reserve

Highlight • Viewpoint

Covering 430 acres along the North Sea Coast, Cley Marshes is a protected area of reed beds, freshwater marsh, pools and wet meadows that attract huge numbers of birds. Look out for pied avocets and western marsh harriers from the bird hides.

You will also find an interesting history at the reserve, especially given it is the oldest reserve in Norfolk. Evidence has been found of prehistoric farming and it was even used as a camp for prisoner of war during WWII.

Cley Windmill

Highlight • Monument

This 18th-century windmill stands on the Norfolk coastline and is treasured in the county, serving as an icon and landmark. A five-storey tower mill with beautiful white sails, the mill is now a hotel with a variety of rooms, some with exceptional views. Whether you stay the night or not here, it's well worth seeing from the exterior, as it really is particularly beautiful.

View of Cley-next-the-Sea and the windmill

Highlight • Viewpoint

To get the best view of Cley you have to climb the unpaved rise from the main road to the top of the bank - choose a low gear and stay seated to avoid rear wheel spin on the loose surface.
