Between Cley and Blakeney

Start: Crabpot Bookshop opposite the path to Cley Windmill, Cley next the Sea (NR25 7RN). Grid ref. TG 045 439

(S) From the Crabpot Bookshop along A149, take the public footpath that leads down the side of it. This leads onto the lane at the back of Cley. Turn left along the lane through to the church.

(1) Cross the churchyard and walk out onto the road by the green. Cross the green and take the Glandford road South which follows the Glaven valley. Note the flint wall on the left which is said to be the medieval quay wall. Across the valley are views of the church at Wiveton. Pass over the Wiveton road and continue until it junctions with the road (Hurdle Lane) into Glandford.

(2) Turn right, cross the ford via the footbridge and enter the village. The Shell Museum and church are on the left. Leave the village on the same road North-West and cross straight over at the road junction. Keep to this until there is a slow double bend. On the right is a waymarker pointing into the hedgerow.

(3) Follow this which will lead up a series of steps to the top of the ridge where outstanding views of the coast can be seen. Take the path on the left that runs parallel with the top of the ridge. Keep to the main path through to a car park. A path on the far side leads down to the road where another path continues on the opposite side. Keep to this, veering off to the left when it branches.

(4) Keep to the left until it meets a road. Take the track on the opposite side and keep to this until it meets another road. Cross straight over and follow the next track. Where this meets Kettlehill Plantation woodland, take the footpath on the left that follows the perimeter of the wood.

(5) Keep to the footpath as it leads around the wood then continue down to the main coast road (A149). Cross over the road and take the footpath a hundred yards on up the road on the left to lead down to the Coast Path.

(6) Turn right (East) and follow the Coast Path. As you reach The Quay road, turn right into Blakeney. (E)

A full circular route can be made by walking the additional three miles along the coast path to link back to Cley. Alternatively one can always jump on the Coasthopper bus service back to Cley.
