Once a busy working port, Blakeney Quay is now mainly used for sailing and pleasure crafts. Overlooking Blakeney Freshes, just to the East of Blakeney Quay, is Friary Hills. It is a small area of scrub and grassland, ideal for a short walk or simply to sit and savour the exceptional views along the coast.
