An old harbour village where footpaths meet the tide, and walking is as natural as the sea breeze.
Blakeney is a small but atmospheric coastal village on the North Norfolk Coast Path — known for its sweeping saltmarshes, tidal creeks, and timeless maritime character. Once a busy port, it’s now a peaceful place to explore on foot, with walking routes that follow the shifting edge of land and sea.
To the west, the Norfolk Coast Path continues toward Morston and Wells-next-the-Sea, offering expansive views over creeks and saltflats. To the east, the trail leads toward Cley-next-the-Sea, known for its bird reserve and marsh walks. You can also take boat trips from Blakeney Harbour to see the famous seal colony at Blakeney Point — or walk part of the way along the shingle spit if tides allow.
Inland, quiet lanes and footpaths link to nearby villages and countryside routes. It’s a perfect base for relaxed, scenic walking with strong ties to nature, heritage, and coast.
