Holiday Cottages in Blakeney

In medieval times the enchanting little coastal village of Blakeney on the North Norfolk coast was a busy commercial port.  Gradually the estuary filled with silt and today you’ll find a beautiful landscape of marshes, dunes, creeks and channels frequented by pleasure boats.  The pretty flint cottages of Blakeney with tea rooms, shops, pubs and magnificent coastal views, together with the quiet unspoilt landscape, make this an ideal location for a peaceful, get-a-way-from-it-all cottage holiday in Norfolk.

There’s plenty of sailing, fishing, bird watching and seal spotting along the three and a half mile long spit of land known as Blakeney Point, plus, historic churches, fine houses and miles of walking in this recognised Area of

Things to do in Blakeney

Walk the North Norfolk coast path – one of the largest expanses of unspoilt coastline in Europe, which includes the wild beauty of Blakeney point.  Bird watchers and nature lovers adore this region, including the Pensthorpe Nature Reserve – home to BBC’s popular Springwatch.  Take a boat trip to the waters beyond Blakeney Point to see the seals and wild life in their natural environment.

There are many beautiful historic churches and houses in the area including Blickling Hall and slightly further afield the Royal Estate at Sandringham with its house, gardens, museum and country park – a great day out for all the family.  For a bit of action on the water you can hire your own power boat to cruise round Blakeney Harbour or enjoy the spray in your face with a sailing lesson.
