Although only a small village, it is set in the heart of birdwatching, sailing and
walking country. The marshes form part of the National Trust Nature Reserve and the
ferries sail from Morston Quay to the seal colony on Blakeney Point. Small boat hire is
available. For a day out, there is plenty to do and see. The Anchor Inn provides good food
and friendly company. Enjoy walking in the National Trust Reserve where there is a watch
tower for a magnificent view over the marams to Blakeney Point.
