There are a few things in life worth getting up early for, and the seal pups at Blakeney Point are one of them. Over the months of November, December and January, hundreds of seal pups are born in the sand dunes of Blakeney National Nature Reserve, making this the largest seal colony in England.

Adventures in Norfolk
With 93 miles of unspoilt beaches, vast expanses of open countryside and The Broads, Norfolk has a veritable quarry of stunning natural features.

If that’s not enough to convince you that Norfolk’s worth a visit, consider this: it’s the combined sunniest and driest county in England. That’s saying something, right?
