Description
Local Information
It would be hard to find a spot which reflects the beauty of the Norfolk coast better than Blakeney. Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this is a picture-perfect location.
When the tide reaches the shoreline, it’s the perfect opportunity to untie your laces and dip your toes in, take the plunge, or embark on a leisurely paddle along the coastal inlets on a paddleboard or boat, immersing yourself in nature’s finest backdrop. Forage some samphire for a taste of the coast, try your hand at catching a crab on the quay, or join the tourists and spot seals bobbing on the waters.
Despite its tranquil ambiance today, Blakeney was once a bustling medieval port. The village’s Guildhall and the Church of St Nicholas stand as testaments to its rich trading past, which thrived until the mid-19th century. As ships grew larger and the harbour silted up, trade declined, and today only small boats can navigate past Blakeney Point to the sea. Now, the nature reserve surrounding Blakeney Point is managed by the National Trust, offering a sanctuary for thousands of nesting and migratory birds—a paradise for birdwatchers where the only tweets are from the birds themselves.
Blakeney offers a range of welcoming spots to eat, drink, and stay. The Manor Coastal Hotel & Inn provides luxury accommodation with stunning estuary views, while the historic Kings Arms, a 250-year-old Georgian inn near the quay, is a favourite for its warm atmosphere, excellent food, and cosy lodgings. The Blakeney Hotel, an iconic waterfront retreat, offers elegant dining and beautiful views across the marshes. For artisanal baked goods and quality coffee, Two Magpies Bakery on the Quay is a must-visit, serving fresh pastries and Allpress Espresso with a scenic backdrop.
