Blakeney to Cley loop named one of Britain's best walks

The 12-mile, four-hour trail in north Norfolk made Tom Hall's list in the Daily Mail, which reveals walks with beautiful scenery and peaceful settings that are easily done in a day.

A walk of two halves, the Norfolk hike starts with a loop around Blakeney Freshes, followed by a stroll down the coast to Blakeney Point.

Blakeney Freshes is a large freshwater marsh offering good opportunities for birdwatching and Blakeney Point is home to England’s largest grey seal colony, with more than 4,000 pups born there each winter.

Hall rates the difficulty of the walk as easy and recommends the Kings Arms in Blakeney as a stop for refreshments.
