Sitting on the edge of the marshes, the quay is a hive of activity at high tide with sailing, motor and fishing boats streaming in and out, and a regular flow of ferries taking people out to see the seals. At low tide, you can often be completely alone on the quay, enjoying the extraordinary peace of the marshes, and watching the birds and wildlife. The village pub, The Anchor Inn, serves fine ales and good food; Morston Hall is a renowned country house hotel and Michelin starred restaurant. Nearby Blakeney (1 mile) has a mini supermarket, a fish shop, a great delicatessen, good pubs and restaurants and a couple of hotels.<\/p>\n<p>The idyllic North Norfolk coastline is amongst the most protected in the country. It is an unrivalled area for walking, cycling, boating, bird watching ,playing on beaches, or fishing for crabs! Morston is an ideal base from which to explore this area.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=&#8221;78,76,77,75,74,79&#8243; fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.6&#8243;
