Cley Marshes

Cley Marshes is a national nature reserve in Norfolk, England, adjacent to the village of Cley next the Sea.

Cley Marshes was purchased by the Norfolk Wildlife Trust in 1926 to be held "in perpetuity as a bird breeding sanctuary". Cley is renowned as a birdwatching site, both for the resident breeding birds (Bittern, Marsh Harrier, Bearded Tit) and the rarities that have been seen there. Its visitor centre (opened 2007) has its own wind generator, a green roof, and a cafe. It includes 150 ha. of reedbed, pools and wet grassland.

The reserve can be found at Grid reference: TG 054 441. Some hides are reached via boardwalks and can be accessed by the disabled, but much of the reserve is on rough ground and shingle.

The reserve is threatened by sea-level rise and consequent flooding.
