Built in 1771, Brograve Mill is shrouded in legend. Also known as the Devil's Mill, some say that Sir Berney Brograve, who built the mill, was chased into the building by the Devil, who was angry that his land had been drained. Sir Brograve sheltered in the mill all night, with the sound of the Devil banging at the door. When he left the next morning he found horses hoof prints all over the door. It's now a Grade-II listed building.

Big seal colony - easy to access

Did you know that about half of the world's grey seal population lives in Britain? Many of these live around Norfolk. At Horsey, you can come and see these lovely animals that live in and around the beach. In winter, thousands of seals come to the shore to have their pups. Remember to always keep a safe distance of at least 30 feet (10 meters) from the seals as they are still wild animals. You can find more information, here: https://www.friendsofhorseyseals.co.uk/

You might even spot two rare warblers here; Cetti's and Savi's. According to folklore, on 13th June every year the screams of drowned children can be heard from the mere.

This is the perfect spot to catch Norfolk seals. Between November to about February hundreds of grey seals breed here. If you’re in the area around this time, then you have to catch the magnificent and forever-memorable sight.
