More about this scene

This picturesque flint village was once the most significant of the Glaven estuary ports, and its old Custom House bears testimony to its prestigious past. Silting of the waterway presaged the decline of Cley's influence, and coastal vessels now pass it by. The fine old windmill dates from 1713, and guards the town from the open marshlands.
