We recently enjoyed our first visit to Cley visitor Centre and reserve since joining NWT. A good range of wildlife on the scrapes.
Cracking visit. Due to a volunteer being in the bird hide we saw spoonbill for the first time. This really is a special place. On a calm day you will see plenty of wonderful marshland birds.
If you're a wildlife enthusiast, birder or rambler, there's is load to do at Cley marshes. Located close to a local picturesque windmill and over looking the marshes, the visitor centre is very well equipped for able bodied and less able with stairs and lift to the cafe, toilets and shop. Take your binoculars and scope and explore the hides where a variety of birds life are abundant thoughout the year. You can buy a day ticket or become an annual member, and wonder to your hearts content. There is plenty of parking.
£6 with gift aid to access hides. Includes day car parking. The hide pass isnt really necessary if you're going for a casual watch. There are places to observe most of the available bird life on the free paths. Car parking wasn't as expensive as I thought it was going to be. £1.50 for an hour cant remember the next price up for 3 or 4 hours. Staff and volunteers were very friendly and helpful. We'll definitely go again but plan to spend longer there. It was an expensive flying visit (only an hour) as we didn't know we could have enjoyed the visit without the hide access. But the pass would be recommended for longer visits
