Spot seals at Blakeney Point in Norfolk
The north Norfolk shoreline is a lovely area to spend a few days. Visit Blakeney to see the salt marshes, sand dunes, marine birds, and seal population. A flourishing grey seal colony may be found at the National Nature Reserve. Take a boat from Morston Quay to witness the lovely creatures, including thousands of puppies, from a safe distance. When you return to land, visit the charming towns of Blakeney, Stiffkey, Cley-next-the-Sea, and Wells-next-the-Sea, as well as the expansive Holkham Beach.
Blakeney National Nature Reserve, located in the heart of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offers broad open areas and unbroken views of the stunning North Norfolk coastline. Blakeney Point's four-mile-long shingle spit protects Blakeney Harbour and the adjoining saltmarshes, offering an ideal home for a diverse range of resident and migratory animals.
The reserve is internationally significant for its dramatic displays of the summer breeding tern colony and winter breeding grey seals, which entertain tourists all year. Blakeney National Nature Reserve is ideal for hikers, sightseers, and wildlife enthusiasts of all ages, and it is open all year.
