Blakeney
OPEN EVERYDAY
Situated in beautiful
Blakeney
NARROW streets, pebble-fronted prop-
erties and a general air of solitude....
the quaint fishing villages of Blakeney,
Cley and Salthouse seem light years
away from nearby bustling tourists
resorts.
This is the Norfolk of birdwatchers
and ramblers.
Recognised as areas of outstanding
natural beauty, the foreshore and the
salt and fresh water marshes of the
North Norfolk coast are protected by
Norfolk Naturalists Trust and the
National Trust.
The National Trust owns more than
eight miles of this stretch of coastline,
including Blakeney Point. This is a
three-mile sand and shingle spit which
is the summer home for around a dozen
species of seabird. It is also home for a
colony of common seals.
The Point can be reached by foot or
ferry, but its tip is banned to visitors
during the breeding season and the
public is asked to take care not to dis-
turb birds nesting in other areas.
Cley Marshes became the first
Wildlife Trust nature reserve in Norfolk
in 1926 and is recognised now as one
of the finest birdwatching sites in
Britain. The reserve is particularly
unusual because of its combination of
habitats consisting of salt and freshwa-
ter marshes, reedbeds and grazed pas-
tures.
The Norfolk Wildlife Trust visitor cen-
tre and car park are on the south side
of the coast road (A149) about half a
mile east of Cley village.
THE Sound of Musicals,
with the Upper Octave
presenting more West
End favourites, will be
helping to raise money
for E.A.C.H. (East Anglian
Children's Hospices) at
Quidenham, Norfolk.
It's a brand new show
for 2009, and is sched-
uled to take place at
Blakeney Village Hall at
7.30pm on Saturday,
September 26. For more
details you should con-
tact 01328 862581.
WITH A VAST expanse of lovely, golden sand,
the beach at Brancaster is immensely popular
with family groups.
On a coastline where there is plenty of com-
petition from other beaches, Brancaster can
hold its own with the best. There's good parking
close to the beach and it doesn't take long to
get children into bucket and spade territory.
In fact, Brancaster's beaches, dunes and
marshes are a national treasure, emphasised by
the fact that nearly 2,200 acres of the foreshore
is owned by the National Trust.
ROMAN FORT
BRANCASTER is the site of the most northerly
of a series of forts that the Romans constructed
in the second and third centuries AD to defend
this area against attack from the Saxons.
The foundations of the fort of Branodunum
and civilian settlement are hidden under the
fields and the only visible evidence on the
ground are the worn down ramparts, but a lot
more has been revealed through aerial photogra-
phy techniques.
Today it is protected by the Historic Buildings
and Monuments Commission as an area of out-
standing national importance.
Branodunum can be reached by walking west
from the Staithe along the coastal path for about
500 metres and crossing the stile by the infor-
mation board.
