The air here tastes of estuary salt, and if you wake early enough, you'll hear curlews over the mudflats before breakfast.

The Saltings runs both a guest house and camping pods, so it suits couples after a proper bed and adventurous types wanting something a bit different under canvas — though you'll need to ask ahead if you're bringing the dog. It's the kind of place that works year-round, whether you're here for bracing winter coast walks or long summer evenings watching the tide come in. The estuary landscape draws birdwatchers and anyone who likes big skies and that particular stillness you only get near tidal water.

Facilities aren't listed in detail, so it's worth ringing to check what's included with your pod or room. Campfires depend on conditions when you arrive — they'll let you know. The vibe feels quiet and low-key, more about the setting than the bells and whistles, ideal if you want to disconnect and let the rhythm of the coast set the pace.

Circular Walk from Morston Quay to Cockthorpe, Blakeney

National Trust logoNational Trust

Loops inland from the salt marshes through gently undulating farmland and wooded stretches, with some moderate climbs near Cockthorpe. The 8.8km route isn't suitable for buggies due to stiles and potentially muddy field paths, but older children who enjoy a half-day adventure will manage fine. Dogs welcome on leads through grazing land. Rewards you with sweeping coastal views, charming flint villages, and excellent birdwatching opportunities around Morston's tidal creeks.

Blakeney to Stiffkey Coastal Walk, Blakeney

National Trust logoNational Trust

Follows the North Norfolk coast between two charming villages, mostly flat with easy terrain along salt marshes and shingle beaches. Suitable for older children (8+) who don't mind distance, but not buggies due to uneven coastal paths and sections over pebbles. Dogs welcome and will love the beach access. Stunning birdwatching opportunities, dramatic big skies, and seal-spotting potential make this a classic Norfolk coastal experience.

Blakeney Point Coastal Walk, Blakeney

National Trust logoNational Trust

Follows the shingle spit and salt marshes of this National Nature Reserve, mostly flat with occasional soft sand and pebble sections that make pushchairs impractical. Unsuitable for buggies but manageable for older children who don't mind a longer walk. Dogs welcome on leads to protect nesting terns and seals. Rewards you with one of Norfolk's finest seal colonies, miles of unspoilt coastline, and exceptional birdwatching across wildly remote terrain.

Holkham Circular

Loops through Holkham's stunning coastal pine woods and salt marshes with mostly flat, sandy paths and boardwalks. Perfect for families – the beach detour at Wells-next-the-Sea is brilliant for children, though buggies work better on the woodland sections than the beach. Dogs welcome year-round. Worth it for the diverse scenery: from atmospheric forest to sweeping coastal views and one of Norfolk's finest beaches.

Blakeney Freshes and Friary Hills Circular Walk, Blakeney

National Trust logoNational Trust

Follows gentle paths along the north Norfolk coast through salt marshes and meadows with minimal elevation. Terrain is mostly flat but can be muddy and uneven in places, making buggies tricky though manageable families will enjoy the short distance and birdwatching opportunities. Dogs welcome on leads to protect ground-nesting birds. Stunning views across Blakeney Harbour to the sand spit, with seals often visible offshore and excellent for spotting waders and wildfowl year-round.
