Salthouse Dun Cow in North Norfolk is a bit special. Situated alongside the A149 coast road the public house is beside the village green. The interior is traditional in design with scrubbed table tops and warming fires for when the cold easterlies come in off the North Sea. Due to the present COVID-19 situation it is necessary to book a table. The food is of a very high standard. Sample menu: “£15 BATTERED FISH & CHIPS With crushed minted peas,…

This is a pleasant walk from Morston to Weybourne on the coastal path. The going is easy but walking on the shingle section can be tiring. If the tide is out, go down the beach and walk on the hard sand.

It is great news that the Norfolk Wildlife Trust appeal to raise over £2m to purchase more marsh between Salthouse and Cley has been successful.

Doubts are arising that damage to some of North Norfolk’s sea defences caused by the tidal surge in December will be repaired. The Environment Agency are seriously considering allowing the sea back in to reclaim land at Cley and Salthouse. If that does prove to be the case the economic impact on the area could be considerable.

If the nature of the reserves is changed by allowing the sea back in the variety of bird life will also change and the attraction of this unique part of Norfolk for keen ‘birders’ could wane.
The Norfolk Wildlife Trust has received a lottery grant of £37,600 to aid with its Cley and Salthouse: A Living Coast project.
It looks as though the Norfolk Wildlife Trust will be able to acquire an extra 143 acres of land between Salthouse and Cley comprised of grazing marshes, ponds and reedbeds.
