Blakeney Harbour and Village

This is the video of Blakeney, where we stayed. I loved the houses there, the streets were really narrow to the point where you pass someone within inches, or even having to back up the car! Even walking you often have to squeeze in to let cars go by.
There are little alleyways all down the main road filled with old flint houses and cottages, some are named for their original purpose. The cottage we stayed in is at the end, you can see Finley and Charlie at the door.
Lovely week, but chilly and windy!
________________________________
Some info on Blakeney:
Blakeney was a commercial seaport until the early 20th century. Now the harbour is silted up, and only small boats can make their way out past Blakeney Point to the sea. The harbour and surrounding marshes are owned by the National Trust and is a nature reserve where seals can be seen basking on the sand.
In the Domesday Book of 1085, Blakeney is recorded under the name Esnuterle.
Blakeney was formally called Snitterley and the settlement is first formally mentioned as Blakeney in a document which dates from 1340. Around the same period the then King Edward III's wife, Queen Philippa is said to have dined on fish caught by Blakeney's fishermen.
From the 12th century Blakeney had a reputation for acts of piracy: between 1328 and 1350 it is recorded that men of Blakeney boarded two vessels from Flanders and sailed them back to Blakeney haven, where they were stripped of their cargoes. Many a foreign merchant ship which sought shelter in the haven found their cargoes stolen. Such was the lawlessness[ of the residents of Blakeney that the village refused to supply a ship for the battle against the Spanish armada.
The area of marshland around Blakeney Point is owned by the National Trust and up to a hundred species of birds can be found there throughout the year.

How absolutely beautiful this is Lisa. Having always stayed in the city, I'm torn between longing for a place like this to stay and the hustle and bustle of the life I know. I just love the look of little villlages like this, but don't know if I could stand the quietness. Hope you both had a special time there. Thanks and hugs..Jan (and Susan) ♥

Strange that I should still think village life would be too quiet, when I'm practically housebound now anyway, is'nt it? I'm really pleased you've found such a beautiful place to settle in. The city is'nt ideal for raising children now. Have a nice Sunday.♥
