A long paved boardwalk leads you to Blakeney Point, aka seal watching heaven. If you're not busy watching the masses of seals and pups that call this shingle spit home, then you can enjoy tremendous views across the salt marshes and muddy inlets, and out to the beautiful North Sea.

You can only access Blakeney Point during low tide, so be careful planning your trip and check the tide times before visiting, as they come in quite quickly. tidetimes.org.uk/blakeney-tide-times
