The original Norfolk Wildlife Trust reserve and a blueprint for nature conservation that has since been replicated across the Country, Cley Marshes in North Norfolk is regarded as one of the UK’s best bird watching sites. Deservedly so, with pools, scrapes, trails and hides, this nature reserve attracts water birds in the thousands throughout the year (more than 300 species of birds have been recorded at Cley Marshes, with regular visitors including Avocets, Kestrels, Bearded Tits, Cormorants and Oystercatchers).
The Reserve boasts an inspiring and award-winning ‘eco-friendly’ visitor centre that employs a wind turbine to generate its power and harvests rainwater to flush the toilets, among other fascinating green innovations. Inside, the café and gift shop provide protection from the elements on chillier days, whilst still allowing a fabulous view of the Reserve through a vast observation area along one side of the Centre (complete with telescopes and audio-visual presentations).
Nature Reserve and visitor centre open all year (except Christmas Day) 10am-5pm (10am-4pm 1st Nov-1st Mar).
There is a small charge for entry to the Reserve (about £4) but entry is free for children and members of Norfolk Wildlife Trust.
Boardwalks provide access for wheelchairs and pushchairs throughout the reserve and the visitor centre is accessible to wheelchair users via a lift.
There is ample parking in front of the visitor centre.
Other Norfolk Wildlife Trust sites across North Norfolk that are well worth a visit include Salthouse Marshes (just along from Cley Marshes), Foxley Wood, Thursford Wood, Ringstead Downs (near Hunstanton), Syderstone Common and Booton Common.
The Neptune Restaurant With Rooms.
85 Old Hunstanton Road, Old Hunstanton, Norfolk, PE36 6HZ.
Tel: 01485 532122.
The Neptune Restaurant with Rooms at Old Hunstanton is charming on so many levels that it would be a shame to miss out on such a treasure.
The site of ‘The Rifleman’ in the 1780’s when it was used as a store for seized contraband, it has been known as The Neptune since the 19th century. Now under the careful ownership of Kevin and Jacki Mangoelles, the Inn and Restaurant has been transformed to evoke images of the New England coast.
With nautical themes throughout, brown mellow tones and white clapboard walls, The Neptune could easily be fragranced by either home-baked apple pie or salty sea air. The Lloyd Loom sofas and chairs add to the relaxed ambience of the bar, lounge and restaurant.
True to its origin as a coaching inn, The Neptune offers elegant accommodation in 7 fabulous en-suite bedrooms, all furnished with the clean lines of white, hand made New England furniture. A 4-Star Inn (EnjoyEngland.com), you are assured a high level of hospitality at this charming bed and breakfast, which is perfectly located for easy access to the North Norfolk coast, Sandringham, the Burnhams and the wider County.
Under Head Chef Kevin, the classic-modern food at The Neptune is lovingly created from fresh local produce such as Thornham Oysters and Plums from Orchard Farm. Already a prestigious 3 AA Rosette restaurant, The Neptune has also recently been awarded a Michelin Star.
The Neptune Restaurant is open Tues-Sun (Closed Mon).

Old Hunstanton, Norfolk, PE36 6HX.
Tel: 01485 532896.
Transformed by the owners of the warm and comfortable Briarfields Hotel, The Lodge is a delightful pub with a restaurant and rooms, of a quality usually only found at a stylish, designer inner-City hotel. A Dower House in the early 1800’s and The Lodge Hotel from 1912, the listed building offers a lovely mix of the old and the new, with wooden floors and real ales sitting happily alongside new world wines and the latest technology.
Situated in the attractive costal village of Old Hunstanton, The Lodge is only 400 hundred yards from quiet sandy beaches, and just along the road from some of Norfolk’s best golf courses, including Old Hunstanton and the Royal and West Norfolk at Brancaster.
The Lodge has fifteen freshly-refurbished en-suite rooms, along with two suites on the top floor.
The ground floor hosts a spacious open bar and lounge area (complete with oversized, flat-screen TV and comfy leather sofas) and a contemporary-styled restaurant that serves the highest quality locally sourced ingredients in its selection of mouth-watering dishes.
Perfect as a base for exploring North Norfolk, or as a rest stop for lunch and refreshments, The Lodge offers a warm welcome all day and is well worth a visit to experience its laid-back charm and hospitality.
Don’t just take our word for it – The Lodge is proud to hold 4-Star Silver status (EnjoyEngland) and 4-Star Inn With Rooms (AA).
Restaurant open 12noon-2pm and 6.30pm-9pm.
*NEW! For 2010* The Lodge Cottage which is opposite the hotel and has just been awarded 5* Tourist Board rating. The accommodation is very versatile and generous sleeping 6 people.
The Lifeboat Inn.
Ship Lane, Thornham, Norfolk, PE36 6LT.
Tel: 01485 512236.
www.maypolehotels.com/lifeboatinn
The charming Lifeboat Inn at Thornham is a real North-Norfolk treasure. Its coastal location provides breathtaking views towards Thornham beach and it is a romantic, rustic and atmospheric escape.
From the cosy smugglers bar lit by hanging oil lanterns to the large fireplace when you first walk in (you’ll have to fight for space in front of it during the winter – often with a few dogs!), the ambience remains faithful to traditional inn-keeping values (after all, The Lifeboat has been receiving guests since the 16th century). Fantastic all year round because its situation is perfect for exploring the North Norfolk coast, as well as taking in golf at nearby Hunstanton, where the Brabazon Trophy was held in 2003. The Lifeboat comes into its own throughout the winter months when it is an inviting and snug bolthole.
For dining, there is a lovely walled patio garden and bright conservatory, the roof of which is covered by an ancient vine that apparently thrives on Abbot Ale. For evenings and special occasions, try the more formal dining room with its welcoming traditional décor and daily-changing one rosette standard menu (3 courses for £28.50). Year-round, the reasonably priced bar menu features local delights and daily specials and is very popular in the evenings. Children’s meals are available and there are options for vegetarians.
The Lifeboat bar is popular and often bustling into the evening – a perfect retreat to recover from walks along the beach or from exploring the area.
The Lifeboat, and its nearby sister Inn, The Old Coach House, offer comfortable and traditional bed and breakfast (all rooms en-suite) from around £50 pppn (£60 Fri, Sat and Bank Holiday Sundays). Offers and special deals are available for 3-night stays and throughout January and February.
Dogs are welcome (£5 per stay) and extra beds can be provided for Children.
Please ask about the special Midweek Dinner, B&B Break.
Plenty of parking is available.
EnjoyMent Offer:

The Stiffkey Red Lion.
44 Wells Road, Stiffkey, Norfolk, NR23 1AJ.
Tel: 01328 830552.
On first impressions, The Red Lion at Stiffkey is a traditional Norfolk Pub in almost every sense of the word, from the rustic wooden pews and four log fires to the original stone floor and selection of local brews on offer. However, since the 1st May 2008, this popular refreshment stop for walkers, cyclists and birdwatchers has seen the addition of 10 fabulous rooms, making it one of the most special places to stay near the North Norfolk Coast.
Modern, chalet-style rooms (5 on the ground floor with a small terrace and garden area outside and 5 on the first floor, each with a private balcony) offer luxurious hotel accommodation at a location that is perfect for discovering the entire North Norfolk region. Well-equipped with en-suite bathroom, high quality furnishings and details like flat-screen televisions, there are 6 King-Sized Double rooms, 3 Twin rooms and a Family Double room with sofa bed. There is WIFI Internet access in the adjacent pub (along with great food all day long and a refreshing pint or glass of something cold), but this will be accessible in the rooms shortly.
The first floor rooms have amazing views out over the Stiffkey valley and the hills beyond.
The accommodation building is eco friendly, with a sedum roof that not only ensures the rooms are warm in winter and naturally cool in summer, but also collects and recycles rainwater, using it to flush the toilets. All the rooms are ultra-insulated – there are no fewer than 14 layers of insulation between the ground floor rooms and the first floor rooms, ensuring total peace and privacy if you so desire it.
Room tariffs between £80 and £120 depending on room type, season and whether you want to include a delicious dinner. All room tariffs include a full English breakfast.
Children & babies welcome.
Dogs welcome in some rooms.

Town Hall Mews.
C/O Old Town Hall House.
Coast Road, Cley-next-the-Sea, Norfolk, NR25 7RB.
Tel: 01263 740284.
From the same pedigree as 5-Star Cley B&B, Old Town Hall House, the latest venture from owners Louise and Fraser will not disappoint in terms of a quality self-catering stay.
Step off the street and you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d just arrived at a chic apartment complex in some hip, cosmopolitan city. Fortunately, the tranquillity and views across the glorious marshes remind you that, in fact, you are in the heart of North Norfolk, in the beautiful village of Cley.
Located in a former 18th Century flint grain store and designed specifically with couples in mind, The Mews Apartment offers spacious, open plan accommodation.

Old Town Hall House.
Coast Road, Cley-next-the-Sea, Norfolk, NR25 7RB.
Tel: 01263 740284.
Old Town Hall House is an AA 5-Star rated Bed and Breakfast in the charming North Norfolk coastal village of Cley-next-the-Sea. While this guarantees the obvious high standards of hospitality and furnishings, this top-level accolade also recognises that such a B&B goes above and beyond when it comes to the finer details that make a stay there simply fabulous. As well as a heightened sensitivity to guests’ needs, with nothing being too much trouble, breakfast itself must include special or home-made components, made from high-quality fresh, local ingredients. Certainly all this is evident at Old Town Hall House.
Each of the three gorgeous en-suite rooms – wonderfully called The Star Room (a King-sized double with an amazing view out on to Cley Marshes), The Globe Room (also a King) and The Heart Room (a Super-King size double), have touches such as jugs of filtered water (more eco-friendly than bottled water), mini-fridges for fresh milk with your tea or coffee, bathrobes, handmade toiletries and a tasty little ‘treat’ placed everyday that may be a cake or delicious biscuits. Intended to be a haven of peace and quiet, you will not find a TV or Wi-Fi in the rooms. The emphasis is on a technology-free stay to help you unwind (and Cley has a notoriously bad mobile signal, so that’s out too). Radios in each room provide a sedate, low-level connection to the 21st-Century.
Awarded the prestigious AA Breakfast Award, breakfast is a relaxed but special affair, including homemade bread and preserves.
Ideal as a base from which to discover the wider county, Old Town Hall House is unquestionably a Bed and Breakfast of the highest standard. Owners Louise and Fraser have made sure that nothing is overlooked and with an emphasis on high quality and guest satisfaction, a stay here is bound to leave you feeling thoroughly spoiled and rested.
Minimum stay is 2 nights. Rates range from £90-£105 per room per night. To reward their loyalty, returning guests receive a little extra-special treatment, including complimentary snacks and red wine (white also available!) in their room.
In the interest of quiet and calm, Old Town Hall House does not take children or pets.

Please telephone first to let us know you’re coming.
Based on the Drove Orchards site at Thornham, Nelson’s County Marine Covers has grown quite spectacularly in the past two and a half years, since it was started by Nicholas Healing from his garden shed! Nowadays, Nelson’s County Marine Covers is known for producing very high quality marine covers and associated products at refreshingly competitive prices.
Items manufactured by Nicholas and his team (which includes his wife, Lucy and experienced seamstress Diane) include bespoke boat covers (made to order to suit your requirements), splash covers, sail covers, and cushions for boats, worked in both canvas and PVC.
Nelson’s County Marine Covers also specialises in sail repairs and cover bags constructed from reclaimed sails. The repair service extends to items of an equestrian nature.
Outside the immediate marine sphere, Nelson’s County Marine Covers makes game bags and also all-weather awnings and umbrellas (the like of which you may see outside some North Norfolk inns!).
Key products by Nelson’s County Marine Covers are the security covers for outboard motors. These can be bought directly from Nelson’s County Marine Covers a swell as through Police forces around the region. The fabric cover, which replaces the motor’s removable cowling protects the engine parts but devalues the motor in the eyes of a thief.
In their own words, Nelson’s County Marine Covers value flexibility and creativity, ensuring that while their items are high quality and functional, they are also fun and make use of the latest manufacturing techniques.

The Stiffkey Red Lion.
44 Wells Road, Stiffkey, Norfolk, NR23 1AJ.
Tel: 01328 830552.
A traditional Norfolk Pub in almost every sense of the word, from the rustic wooden pews and four log fires to the original stone floor and selection of local brews on offer, The Red Lion at Stiffkey is an uncomplicated retreat for those wishing to unwind in a relaxing atmosphere with no whistles and bells.
Centrally located on the A149 coast road, Stiffkey is easily reached from all the towns, villages and attractions that make this region special, from the chic rural hotspots of Holt and Burnham Market to the more classic seaside resorts of Sheringham, Cromer and Wells. There is a popular campsite just a stroll away and the Pub is close enough to the sea for those sitting outside to be refreshed by the sea breeze on warmer days.
In wonderful contrast, eating at The Stiffkey Red Lion is a less traditional affair. While the decor may be reassuringly simple, as you’d expect from a bona fide country alehouse, the cuisine is fresh, modern and mouth-watering. The main menu features classic dishes that take advantage of the wealth of local produce, changing regularly depending on seasonal availability. A specials board changes daily, offering a selection of more cosmopolitan dishes. There are also dishes for children and several vegetarian options.
You can choose to eat in any of the three rooms in the pub or in the conservatory or dining room. There is outside seating too if you’d prefer to dine al fresco.
Ideally situated on the North Norfolk coast (and reachable on foot from several nearby locations, including Wells-next-the-Sea), The Red Lion is the ideal stop-off for walkers, cyclists or birdwatchers. It is great for a hearty lunch, a refreshing pint of Nelson’s Revenge or an evening meal to finish off a hard day of sightseeing.
The Neptune Restaurant With Rooms.
85 Old Hunstanton Road, Old Hunstanton,
Norfolk, PE36 6HZ.
Tel: 01485 532122.
Recipient of a coveted Michelin Star (one of only two Norfolk eateries to receive such an honour) The Neptune Restaurant at Old Hunstanton is exceptional on so many levels that it must be visited at least once when visiting the area. And if you are lucky enough to reside in Norfolk then this charming treasure is more than worth the journey.
The site of ‘The Rifleman’ in the 1780’s when it was used as a store for seized contraband, it has been known as The Neptune since the 19th century. Now under the careful ownership of Kevin and Jacki Mangoelles, the Restaurant with rooms has been transformed to evoke images of the New England coast of Maine – warm and friendly, but with a generous portion of outstanding quality.
With nautical themes throughout, brown mellow tones and white clapboard walls, The Neptune could easily be fragranced by either home-baked apple pie or salty sea air. The Lloyd Loom sofas and chairs add to the relaxed ambience of the bar, lounge and restaurant.
Under Head Chef Kevin (who also earned a Michelin star in his last restaurant on the Isle of Wight), the classic-modern food at The Neptune is lovingly created from fresh local produce such as Thornham Oysters and Plums from Orchard Farm. Already a prestigious 3 AA Rosette restaurant, The Neptune is a permanent 5 star fixture in the Good Food Guide.
Sunday lunch is available.
True to its origin as a coaching inn, The Neptune offers accommodation in 7 fabulous en-suite bedrooms, all furnished with the clean lines of white, hand made New England furniture.
Dinner served Tues – Sun 7pm-9pm.

Deepdale Café.
Main Road, Burnham Deepdale, Norfolk, PE31 8DD.
Tel: 01485 211055.
An extremely popular haunt for locals, campers, walkers and holidaymakers alike, Deepdale Café successfully combines a relaxed vibe reminiscent of a beach-side coffee bar with the quality food and service you’d expect from a far more formal establishment.
Situated on the A149 coast road between Burnham Overy Staithe and Brancaster Staithe, among a well thought-out cluster of interesting businesses on the ‘Dalegate’ site, the café is perfectly positioned for refreshment when exploring the North Norfolk coast or surrounding villages such as the Burnhams.
Presented beautifully and cooked to order under Head Chef Rory Knowles, portions are reasonably priced and plentiful with satisfying and delicious options for breakfast, lunch and throughout the day (including veggie, children’s and diet-conscious options). The menu includes sandwiches and snacks as well as more substantial meals using a feast of local produce such as locally caught crab, lobster and mussels (when in season). Fully licensed, you can relax with an alcoholic tipple such as Adnams beer or Whin Hill Cider (from nearby Wells-next-the-Sea) or a wine or beer from further a field. For non-drinkers, children or drivers, the list of soft drinks is more than adequate, with various coffees, teas, juices and soft drinks on offer.
As well as the ‘standard’ menu, the café features changing ‘specials’ and a tempting roast on Sundays. Little wonder then that they are included in the Good Food Guide once again this year (2009).
Ideal for families, couples, the young and old, Deepdale Café is a fabulous, unpretentious eating-and-meeting place that is bound to please even the choosiest diner.
If you can’t dine in, many of Deepdale Café’s most popular dishes are available as frozen takeaways.
