Blakeney Marshes, also known as Blakeney Freshes, is a vast expanse of freshwater grazing marshes. A nature reserve, it's an important habitat for all sorts of residents, from otters and voles to Brent geese and avocet. No matter what time of year you visit, there'll be plenty of birdlife to see. A footpath takes you around the perimeter of the marshes, providing some wonderful viewing spots, a little raised over the flat fields.
