LOCATION: Cley-next-the-Sea was described by William White in his 1845 Norfolk directory as a “small town and port” and listed “4 inns, 2 beer houses, 3 each of bakers, butchers, groceries, drapers, shoemakers and also 4 tailors”. 172 years on, the village has a delicatessen, hotel, pub, tearooms, fish smokery, pottery shop and gallery. St Margaret’s Church looks over the green and the Glaven Valley. Probably the best-known feature of the village is the windmill, built as a corn mill at the beginning of the 19th century, and now run as a bed and breakfast establishment. The Georgian town of Holt, which is about 4 miles away, is known for its excellent selection of shopping and also Gresham’s public school for girls and boys.
