Superb setting, eye level with Morston Salt Marshes along the meandering waterway to emerge out into the deeper Blakeney Channel. Choppy and windy, so don't forget your warm clothes and if sitting at the front of the boat, a waterproof for the showers of spray. On past the old coastguard station on Blakeney Point, keenly looking for the first seal sighting, like Captain Ahab but with less bloodthirsty thoughts. Thar she blows!! A seal, peering back from just ahead, bobbing in the swell, cheeky as you like. Continue round Blakeney Point and there're all her brothers and sisters and the rest. Seals too many to count, lumbering out of the surf, fighting in the water, lazing on their backs in the sun, small ones, big ones, pups. Amazing, Sir David Attenborough eat your heart out, don't need the North Pole, just pop along to Blakeney Point in Norfolk!

We are visiting from the US and a friend booked our spot. When we arrived I stood in line for 15…read moreminutes only to discover someone walking down the line asking for tickets. I told them I didn't have a ticket and where do I go. The person pulls me aside while I left my two children in line. She proceeds to tell me that I have to get in the back of the line since I did not have my ticket to begin with. The line was super long because I had arrived early. After that I called to let the manager know of my experience and they said "you people never listen". So rude. People visiting be warned. Not a kind company.

Oxburgh Hall is a place that shouldn't be missed when visiting the area. It sits within a moat and…read moreis a great example of English brick gatehouses of the 15th century. It was originally built circa 1482 by Sir Edmund Bedingfeld and has been continuously occupied by the family ever since. There have been several upgrades as well over the years...centuries. There are Victorian additions that were added later in the 1800's like the terracotta chimneys and windows along with amazing gardens to name a few. It has always been used as a home, and not a fortress. The home has seen the War of the Roses, survived a fire and near demolition prospects and still stands. It is truly an amazing place to visit and I'm happy it's under the care of the National Trust. The hall is known for its "Priest hole". In the event of a raid a priest could hide in the wall and couldn't be found. This is open to the public, whereas most like it are closed. That makes this is a fantastic historical opportunity alone. I must say, it is a little unsettling to go into the hole and you definitely get the idea of how the priest must have felt. The home is also known for the needlework on display by Mary, Queen of Scots while imprisoned in England and Bess of Hardwick. You can also tour the Kings Room where King Henri VIII stayed when visiting. Photos are not allowed inside...darn it, but you are welcome to take pictures of the grounds and such. You can obtain books and postcards in the gift shop. This review was overdue and I simply can't believe that I didn't finish it. But I'm even more surprised that no one else has reviewed this place when it is so extraordinary. It shouldn't be missed if you are in the area. If you are a history buff like us, then you'll truly enjoy it. Gee Whiz info...the name is pronounced: "OX bru" Note: I also recommend becoming a member of the National Trust. They do great things and keep history alive. Whether you are from or live in the UK or just visiting from outside the country...it's well worth it and goes to a great cause...it's a win/win for all!

The punter told us interesting anecdotes of the school and its history. They also have the option to allow you to steer the punt, but we saw that it wasn't easy to steer because some of those people got stuck in the wrong direction. Highly recommend for a relaxed boat ride on the river to enjoy the scenery of the school grounds.
