About this walk
Cley to Blakeney on the Norfolk Coast Path is an easy 6.1 km linear walk with 20 m of ascent, taking 1.5 to 2 hours. It starts at Cley next the Sea (grid reference TG 044 438). The start can be reached by public transport.
Cley and Blakeney were ports until the marshes silted up; now they face a mile of saltmarsh, with the shingle spit of Blakeney Point and its seals beyond. The coast path follows the sea bank between them, past Cley's windmill and the bird reserve, with wide skies and wading birds all the way.
Buses run back along the coast road.
