Covering 430 acres along the North Sea Coast, Cley Marshes is a protected area of reed beds, freshwater marsh, pools and wet meadows that attract huge numbers of birds. Look out for pied avocets and western marsh harriers from the bird hides.

You will also find an interesting history at the reserve, especially given it is the oldest reserve in Norfolk. Evidence has been found of prehistoric farming and it was even used as a camp for prisoner of war during WWII.
