Blakeney Nature Reserve

Blakeney Nature Reserve is managed by the National Trust. At the heart of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Blakeney National Nature Reserve boasts wide open spaces and uninterrupted views of the beautiful North Norfolk coastline.

The four mile long shingle spit of Blakeney Point offers protection for Blakeney Harbour and the surrounding saltmarshes, providing a perfect habitat for a vast array of residential and migratory wildlife.

The reserve is internationally important, and is noted for its spectacular displays of the summer breeding tern colony and winter breeding grey seals ensuring delight for visitors all year round. Great for walkers, sightseers and wildlife enthusiasts alike, Blakeney National Nature Reserve guarantees an inspiring and memorable visit no matter the season.

Note, for the safety of seals and visitors, the western-most mile of beach and dunes on the Point are fenced off during the breeding season, which runs from late October until late January.
