My husband is very interested in birds and I’m very happy on beaches, so after an hour on Cley beach, we headed to the Wildlife Trust Visitors Center for some information. It’s a modern building across the road from Cley Marshes where it has 3 large hides. We paid the £4.50 each and walked the well-maintained trail through the reeds to the hides. It’s a practical place, with benches and hinged shutters inside that allow viewing of the birds and wildlife with little disturbances to them. That being said, it’s also well-landscaped and pretty with great views. The Visitors Centre itself has a shop, art gallery, cafe, toilets and outdoor viewing deck. When we had parked in the NWT car park at the beach, the man selling car park tickets was friendly, enthusiastic and informative. In contrast, at the Visitors Centre, which was quite crowded, there seemed to be only 1 woman behind the information desk busy selling things and some cafe staff. Maybe they don’t have enough volunteers or staff? I’m not an expert in these places, but I enjoyed visiting the hides and my husband was very happy, hence the high score of 5*.

This is a wonderful place. I love this coast and the marshes are something special . Easy to walk out on the coastal path the the real pebbly beach with its small fishing boats. Best to go on a day when its windy and a little wet to get a real good feel of the coast.
