North Norfolk’s Stiffkey Freshes – a ‘wild’ place for a picnic
There are just a few places left in Norfolk that can be ascribed the adjective ‘wild’; Stiffkey Freshes is such a place. If you are an early bird and can get to the dunes as dawn breaks, or you are prepared to stay as dusk approaches, you will witness nature at its most impressive.

You may also see a fox hunting along the foreshore or a muntjak ambling along amongst the dunes.
