This wonderful loop is perhaps best from late November onwards when you can witness the spectacle of thousands of grey seals enjoying the mating season at Horsey Dunes.

Trail Reviews
There are five @ seasons at Horsey, Windy and Sunny, windy and cloudy, windy and raining, windy and snowing, and windy and very cold. The beach and the seals are amazing, During the winter around Christmas new year the pups are born, and its seals up and down the beach are far as you can see. During the summer months, there will be pockets of seals on the beach. During the winter you can see the broads, but it's muddy, on the paths. During the summer the path is more or less dry but the reeds are normally so high you cannot see much. The walk can be expanded in either direction up on the dunes. If you park in the NT carpark there are toilets, even a shower, and a little cafe. There are no toilets in the car parks by the beach.
Fantastic walk- started with safely gazing at the gangs of seals on the beach from the path through the dunes..muddy in parts but nothing major. Stopped at the National Trust cafe for a lovely toastie and enjoyed the rest of the route on a full belly 😊
