Horsey is one of the most distinctive and rewarding stops along the Norfolk Coast Path. Situated where the coast meets the Broads, this quiet village is best known for its historic windpump, seal colonies, and big-sky scenery. It’s a memorable place to pause or stay while walking between Sea Palling and Winterton-on-Sea, especially in autumn and winter when grey seals gather in their thousands to pup on the beach.
The walking here is easy and evocative — low dunes, reedbeds, and wide, sandy shores stretch in all directions. Whether you’re watching seals on the coast or climbing the National Trust windpump for views over the marshes, Horsey invites slow exploration and connection with the wild side of Norfolk.
