I'm making my first trip to Cley & Salthouse marshes at the weekend and would welcome any knowledge or advice on these sites, recommended B&B's and so on that you would be willing to share.

Regards

For Photography at Cley you need to park at the visitor centre and if it's a bright day turn right and go to the hide clossesed to the road. The central hides are OK on a dull day or late afternoon. Good Sea watching from the beach if the weather is right. Watch out for Wheatears and Snowbuntings on the sea wall.
Salthouse. Take the beach road. Free parking. Some good areas to the left for waders. Dun Cow for good food.
Kelling. Next village along from Cley. Park on the left and take the unbridaled path. Good place for rear passerines.
Another day.
Lady Anne's Drive, Holkham. Usually something interesting in the pines.
Tichwell. One of the best RSPB sites in the UK
Holme. The NOA and NWT reserves always worth a visit. My favourite. Good food at the White Horse.

Enjoy your visit.

John if you go to Titchwell go in the afternoon, otherwise light is all wrong for photography.

John we were there at the begining of the month and stayed here, very good but about 15-25 mins to where you want to be, but...

Found Tichwell good if you get there just before sunrise and the beach when the tide comes in. Good luck
