Great little viewing area with a couple of benches and a great view over the Mere.

National Trust-run windmill in the middle of the wide, flat broads landscape. Cafe and toilets for a refreshment stop as well.

Great view from the top of the ramp over the sea embankment, and plenty of refreshment options just below it.

There is a car park here, which is managed by the National Trust. There are lovely hiking trails all around through the Broads and to the North Sea coast. You can see several colonies of seals on the coast.

The National Trust maintains a car park right next to the mill. You can also get tickets to the mill there. It's worth a visit, as you'll not only learn details about the mill, but also gain an insight into the miller's life.

In the woods of East Somerton are the ruins of St Mary’s church, with glassless windows, tumbling walls, and a tower where you can look up into the open sky. From the 15th-century, St Mary’s went from serving its own parish to becoming part of the larger parish of West Somerton. It fell into disuse in the 17th-century and has remained abandoned. The most striking feature is a tree in the centre of the ruins, known as “The Witch’s Leg.”

A truly magical place, St Mary's Church has been wrapped back up in nature since it was abandoned in the 17th century. The size of the oak tree that rises up in the centre of the ruins tells you just how long it has been since worshippers set foot inside. Legend has it that the tree grew from the wooden leg of a witch who was buried here.

Running along the footpath through the dunes and you really feel like you are a million miles from everywhere. Expansive views and golden sand. Beautiful.

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.

The helpers and conservationists give valuable tips on where the groups can best be seen at the moment and they protect these dear animals and discourage some unreasonable tourists from getting too close to the seals. At the end of October I was able to see a few dozen young seal families. Good close-ups were possible with a 5x zoom lens.

Winterton Dunes is a nature reserve that’s home to much wildlife. Keep a lookout for tern, Natterjack toad and seal colonies. Bird watchers especially will be richly rewarded here.

Best viewing time for the seals (in my opinion) is early December until Christmas. This is because I love the older pups

The dunes keep collapsing during storms, so please keep to known footpaths to help protect the dune system habitat. Also, if you visit between October and March, please keep your dogs on leads and seals may be on the beach giving birth/raising their pups.

Great beach, dog friendly too
