Cley Windmill
A 19th-century brick tower windmill in Cley village, with reeds and saltmarsh in the foreground. A classic postcard view of the Norfolk coast.
Cley Windmill was built in the early 19th century to grind flour. It has since been converted into a guesthouse and restaurant, and it stands above the saltmarsh at the mouth of the River Glaven. The windmill looks its best from the coast road and the wetland footpaths. Cley village has old flint houses, a delicatessen and galleries, where you can buy local smoked fish. The windmill's interior is generally closed to non-guests, but the surrounding paths are free and can be explored alongside Cley Marshes.
