We are very lucky to have Britain’s largest seal colony on the doorstep. If you walk to the local beach and, if you are lucky, you will see seals gracefully passing by. The seal colony is on Blakeney point. For hardened walkers, the closest coast path to the beach from the cottage will take you there in about 1 to 1.5 hours. Go out of the cottage, turn right. Take the first coast path on the left through the marshes. When you reach the beach, turn left and keep walking. There is a stony spit all the way to Blakeney Point.
You can also walk in to Blakeney, or indeed drive and park, although parking can be a bit hit and miss at busy times, and take one of the many boat trips out to Blakeney point. The boats will take you further out to some of the islands that you can not reach on foot.
