Made in Cley. Starr House, dating from the mid-19th century, presently houses a pottery and gift shop. Adjoining it is > 841647. Present-day Cley is not in the same location as the medieval village of Cley used to be. This was located south of St Margaret's church > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/309410 and had a busy harbour, which was ruined by embanking in the 1640s by Sir Henry Calthorpe. A fire had already encouraged relocation in 1612. When Thomas Telford had been called in, in 1822, to advise on the problem of silting the Cley channel, his advice was ignored and the once busy port is now history. Many of the houses and cottages that line the narrow High Street (A149) through the village are built from flint and brick and date from the 17th and 18th centuries.

Top Cley next the Sea Hotel Reviews

Three Swallows

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were comfortable, pretty and had everything we needed. We had lots of options for breakfast and it was delicious. The hosts are welcoming and the village is so pretty. We loved our stay here."

The Globe Inn Wells

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay there again. The restaurant had a lot of dogs, which isn’t too good in a restaurant. The breakfast cup was very stained, so I had to get it swapped, but the food was very nice, with a lot of choice. Staff were very friendly, and we had a good laugh with them. "
