This walk goes beside the marshes. The creeks are tidal and many birds feed here, such as dunlin and other wading birds. Flocks of duck and geese can be seen circling to land on the grassy area of the marsh. In summer, wildflowers such as sea lavender can be seen, attracting the butterflies. There are wide views across the marsh to the coastline of Blakeney Point. At Morston, boats can be hired for trips to see the seals. The route continues along field edges and tracks to Cockthorpe, then downhill into Stiffkey with its pretty flinted cottages.

Been carrying out some walking housekeeping and found we completed this walk on 2 December 2019. It is a terrific walk with some stunning views, I recommend a coffee and cake and general browse in the Stiffkey Store. No problems with instructions.

Completed walk 20/Feb/2011 which took 3 hours 30 minutes and measured 8 miles. Just a very short walk off the route at Morston is an excellent pub, The Anchor, a pleasant distraction. Comments at (5) still apply, footpath only reinstated by walkers crossing ploughed field.
