SITUATION
Wiveton is a small unspoilt village which sits on the opposite side of the River Glaven from Cley which was an old 18th Century port. The village benefits from a fine parish church, the Wiveton Bell gastro pub and the well-known Wiveton Hall Café.
Excellent local facilities are also available within walking distance in the neighbouring villages of Cley-next-the-Sea and
Blakeney which is a year-round lively village, as well as a holiday destination offering a wide variety of shops, pubs and restaurants, a fine parish church, tennis courts, playing field, doctors’ surgery, and a primary school.
There is a buzz in the air in North Norfolk and the region enjoys everything on offer from locally sourced butchers, fishmongers and farmers markets to artisan bakers, cool coffee shops, restaurants, delicatessens, up-market farm shops and art galleries.
This is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a Conservation Area and offers easy access to the saltmarshes and Blakeney Point with many ways of whiling away leisure hours including sailing, seal trips, cycling, golf, amazing coastal walking and fine beaches. The Cley marshes wildlife reserve dates from 1926 and makes this one of the best places for spectacular birdwatching.
Just four miles to the south is the Georgian market town of Holt, renowned for its attractive street frontages and for its wide and eclectic range of independent shops. Holt is also home to Gresham’s pre-prep, prep and senior schools, founded in 1555.
