Directions to the start →

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.

THE SMALL PRINTAssistance dogs only on the Norfolk Wildlife Trust reserve and in the visitor centre. Dogs are allowed on Beach Road, the shingle bank forming the northern reserve boundary and the East Bank, and must be on a lead at all times; the visitor centre's outside decking is open to dogs.
