On foot from the gate
The coast path is straight off the pitch. These are the walking distances from the site gate:
- Wild swimming spot, 0.3 miles: Best at high tide, an hour either side.
- The Red Lion, Stiffkey, 0.4 miles: Sunday roasts and a fire in the shoulder seasons.
- Stiffkey Freshes, 0.6 miles: Wading birds year-round; migration in spring and autumn.
- Stiffkey beach & dunes, 1.1 miles: Paddleboard launch at the marsh edge.
- Seal watching, 1.5 miles: Out across the marsh to the shore facing Blakeney Point, where the seals haul out. Low tide only: the creeks fill fast, so check today's tides before you set off.
- Morston Quay, 2.5 miles: Along the coast path. Seal boat trips out to Blakeney Point leave from here, tide permitting.
- Blakeney Quay, 4 miles: On along the path past Morston: pubs, crab-lining off the quay, and the bus back.
The tide tables matter more than the weather forecast out here. The creeks fill fast, so check today’s tides before you set off.
Walk one way, ride back
The Coasthopper bus (CH1) stops at the end of The Greenway, linking Wells, Blakeney and Sheringham, where the trains run to Norwich. That makes the coast path easy one way: walk to Blakeney and ride back. Coasthopper times →
What you will see
Wading birds on the Freshes, sea lavender turning the marsh lilac from July, terns nesting out on Blakeney Point from April, and seals. See camping near Blakeney Point for the boats and the birds.
