Pub SOME LIMITS

The King's Arms

NR25 7NQ

A low, flint-fronted pub on Westgate Street, a minute up from Blakeney quay and the seal-trip boats. Two of the bedrooms take dogs and the rest do not, which is unusually specific and worth knowing before you book. Handy for the walk out along the saltmarsh wall to Cley.

85%OFF-ROAD

Livestock — leads on

Four and a quarter miles in about two hours on the grassed sea wall, a stretch of flint lane and a farm track back through Blakeney village, with the whole of the Point and its seal colony laid out to the north. Start from the quay car park at the bottom of the High Street, pay and display and the only sensible place to leave a car in Blakeney; the village streets are narrow and largely permit-only. The sea wall is fenced from the grazing marsh but cattle are often on the Freshes and the ditches hold brackish water, so leads on past stock, and there is no drinkable water on the route until you are back at the quay.

Livestock — leads on

Five and a half miles, about two and a half hours, on field paths, a quiet flint lane and the raised sea wall, linking three flint villages and the two great wool churches at Wiveton and Cley. It starts from the quay car park in Blakeney and can be shortened to three miles by turning back at Wiveton Bridge; the Coasthopper stops on the main road at the top of the village. Field-edge paths mean stiles and kissing gates, sheep and cattle graze the Glaven meadows so leads on there, and the River Glaven at Wiveton Bridge gives a safe shallow drink and a swim on a hot day.

The George at Cley

A brick inn beside the windmill at Cley with ten bedrooms and a view over the marshes to the shingle bank. Four-legged guests are welcome throughout, and the Norfolk Coast Path runs past the door, which makes it a natural end-of-walk stop. Self-catering options include the Coach House and Thurn Cottage.

The Wiveton Bell

Wiveton · NR25 7TL

A pretty pub on the green at Wiveton, a mile inland between Blakeney and Cley, with six well-finished bedrooms. Dogs are welcome and get a bed for the night, a dog menu and treats from the staff, who will point you at the local walks. The field footpath to Cley church is the reason to stay here.

95%OFF-ROAD

Eight miles there and back on loose shingle, four hours or more of genuinely hard going that punishes ankles and paws in equal measure, out to the old lifeboat house at the end of the Point and back the same way. It starts at the Beach Road car park at Cley, a pay-and-display gravel pen at the very end of the lane, exposed and sometimes closed after an overwash; there is no other access on foot. Dogs are barred from the whole of Blakeney Point from 1 April to 15 August for the ground-nesting terns, and again from 1 November until the middle of January for the grey seal pupping season, so this is a late-August to late-October walk, on a short lead, with no fresh water anywhere on the shingle.

Four miles in two hours on shingle, a raised grass bank and a stretch of the coast road pavement, a circuit of the best birdwatching ground in England with Cley windmill in the frame most of the way. Start at the Beach Road car park, pay and display at the end of the lane, and pick up the East Bank half a mile east along the shingle; the Coasthopper stops outside the Norfolk Wildlife Trust visitor centre on the A149. Norfolk Wildlife Trust allows assistance dogs only inside the reserve and the visitor centre, but dogs may use Beach Road, the shingle bank along the northern boundary and the East Bank on a lead at all times, and the outside decking at the centre is open to them.

Beach 1.7 mi SOME LIMITS Dogs all year

Cley Beach

Cley Next the Sea

A shingle ridge at the end of Beach Road with the Norfolk Wildlife Trust's reedbeds behind it and the shingle running east to Salthouse and west to Blakeney Point. There is no seasonal ban here, but the reserve itself is closed to dogs and the shingle bank is a lead-only route, which is the deal that keeps the birds and the walkers apart. It is one of the great bleak walks of the English coast.

Beach 5.2 mi DOGS WELCOME Dogs all year

Weybourne Beach

Weybourne

Steep shingle where the water goes deep close in, which is why the invasion scares of four centuries all named this spot. No dog order applies, so it is open all year, and it is the quietest beach within reach of Sheringham. There is a car park a short walk from the shingle at the end of Beach Lane.

Kelling Heath Holiday Park

Weybourne · NR25 7HW

Three hundred acres of heath and woodland above Weybourne, with its own halt on the North Norfolk Railway and miles of waymarked trails through the gorse. Designated dog-friendly Classic and Platinum lodges take dogs, and there is a dog wash on the park. Weybourne beach, which has no dog order, is a walk down the hill.

Four and a half miles and around two and a quarter hours through Repton's parkland and the rhododendron woods, up the iron gazebo tower for the best view in Norfolk and out to the clifftop above Weybourne before looping back. It starts at the National Trust visitor centre car park off the A148, pay and display at £6.50 for non-members and free to members, with around 200 spaces that fill on rhododendron weekends in late May. Dogs must be on a lead throughout the park between 1 March and 31 July; outside those months they may run off lead under close control in the areas marked on the visitor centre map, and the clifftop edge here is unfenced and crumbling.

The Bowling Green Inn

A plain, well-liked local on Church Street away from the quay crowds, doing locally sourced food and a proper Sunday roast. The pub states simply that dogs are allowed in the pub, which makes it one of the easier wet-afternoon options in Wells. Tuesday lunchtime is a two-course senior citizens' menu.

Wells Next the Sea · NR23 1FA

A small quayside eating place on The Quay at Wells, open Wednesday to Sunday all year round and run by the same family as the Albatros. It states on its own site that it is dog friendly. Convenient before or after the long walk out to the beach along the harbour wall.

A Georgian inn on the Buttlands, the tree-lined green a street back from the Wells quay, also part of the Holkham Estate.

Food is a step up from standard pub cooking.

Livestock — leads on

Eight and three quarter miles and the best part of four hours, flat throughout but exposed, out along the harbour wall and the Norfolk Coast Path to Stiffkey and back over the fields by the Whirligig. Start at the quay in Wells, where the long-stay car park sits behind the harbour and is pay and display all year; the Coasthopper bus makes a one-way version easy. There are stiles and kissing gates on the field return that a very large dog will need lifting over, cattle graze the Freshes and the saltmarsh creeks fill fast on a rising tide, so leads on for the grazing sections and keep an eye on the water.
