Best Wildlife Breaks in the UK

Hop on a guided boat trip at Blakeney – a sand, sea and grass swathe on the North Norfolk Coast – and bob your way out to spot fat seals lolling on sandbanks and in the surf. This is England’s largest grey seal colony, where thousands of pups are born each winter, and the scale is impressive. You’re guaranteed to get some great pics of the tubby giants on your hour-long cruise, but also keep eyes peeled for rare birds, including the Great Snipe or Barred Warbler.
