Cley Marshes is one of several marsh areas on the North Norfolk coast. It was set up as a nature reserve in the 1920s and it's owned by the local Wildlife Trust
Cley has a wide range of bird species, in a group of coastal pools and wetlands and also in sand dunes and offshore. The Norfolk coast is notable for migrant and vagrant rarities from both sides of the Atlantic and from southern Europe.
Cley Marshes is on the north Norfolk coast, on the A149 coast road, 6km north of Holt. The visitor centre and car park are easily accessible on the landward side of the road. Entrance is located directly across the A149 coast road from the car park. The Coasthopper bus service stops just outside the nature reserve. This frequent bus service passes by the visitor centre. Access to the reserve is only on foot on good footpaths or boardwalks. The path to the shore is level but long and exposed.
On arrival, an admission fee of £5 is payable at the visitor centre, where sightings information is available. Refreshments, toilets and an exhibition can be found here and there is a viewing window over the reserve. The reserve is open dawn till dusk.
