, once a busy wool port but now little more than a row of flint cottages and Georgian mansions set beside a narrow, marshy inlet that (just) gives access to the sea. The original village was destroyed in a fire in 1612, which explains why Cley's fine medieval
Church of St Margaret
is located half a mile... read the whole Cley-next-the-Sea Travel Guides...
