Blakeney Pillows

Boats at rest, moored for the evening at the quayside at Blakeney, North Norfolk. Such a peaceful scene but until the early 1900s when the harbour silted up,this was a busy port. In medival times it was noted for spices and oriental cloth and, apparently, acts of piracy! Now it is a peaceful harbour for small boats.The marshes round about are a haven for wildlife. It is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and part of the North Norfolk Heritage Coast.

A digital sketch of a figure standing on the quayside at Blakeney in North Norfolk watching the sun go down. Blakeney is within the North Norfolk Heritage Coast and is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Until the early C20th it was a commercial seaport, but silting up now makes it only accessible for relatively small boats. Peaceful now - but apparently in medieval times Blakeny had something of a reputation for piracy! Nerarby is Blakeney Point - famous for its seals.
