• Blackney National Nature Reserve - This three and a half mile long shingle and sand spit is a haven for all kinds of wildlife and well noted for its colonies of breeding terns, migrant birds that pass through in the summer and common and grey seals that can also be seen.
• Morston Quay - This small quay provides access to the coastal path where you can enjoy extensive views across Blakeney Point and large areas of saltmarsh. Boat trips can be taken at high tide, where you can get up close to the seals.

• Norfolk Broads and Wroxham - Considered to be the 'Gateway to the Norfolk Broads', Wroxham is a small but bustling village and home to the largest village store in the world! There are plenty of restaurants and pubs in Wroxham and you can hire a day cruiser to explore the waterways.
