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.

Blakeney Harbour

Highlight • River

A pretty village on the edge of the Norfolk Coast, Blakeney is well worth a visit. Until the beginning of the 20th century, the village was a commercial seaport. Nowadays the former harbour is used as a nature reserve where you can see one of the biggest seal populations in the UK. Blakeney has not always been the calm village it is today: from the 12th century, the village was known for pirates. Locals would often steal the cargo of foreign merchant ships who docked at the port. The villagers were so lawless that they even refused to give a ship to the battle against the Spanish Armada!

Today, you will find a relaxing tourist resort with hotels, pubs, great restaurants and various coastal activities.
