Blakeney
Blakeney is located on the North Norfolk Coast, just North of the small
market town of Holt.
This part of the coastline has been designated an Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty ANOB and the marshes and wide open spaces around Blakeney
make it a haven for migratory birds and wildlife.
Blakeney used to be a small port, but is now a quiet village and provides an
ideal location for a family holiday. There are two hotels, a number of
holiday cottages to rent, and several B&Bs.
The village has a strong identity, and is a thriving and active community.
There is a small supermarket, butchers, fishmongers, and chandlers, pubs and
a post office as well a range of shops for holidaymakers - please follow the
links to access local information.
Blakeney is popular with dinghy sailors, bird watchers and walkers, and you
can get a real feel for the area by taking a trip to Blakeney Point to see
the seals.
