Hiking
Horsey Mere is regarded as one of the most beautiful of the northern broads. Close to the Norfolk coast, Horsey's reed beds and grazing marshes offer a habitat of international importance for birds, including wigeon, teal, shoveller, pochard, gadwall, goldeneye, tufted duck, bitterns, stonechats, yellow wagtails, and grasshopper warblers. You might even spot two rare warblers here; Cetti's and Savi's. According to folklore, on 13th June every year the screams of drowned children can be heard from the mere.
