🐦 A little bird told us… Cley is the place to be! 🐦

November is a wonderful time for birdwatching here in North Norfolk. From great flocks of wintering geese to marsh harriers, spoonbills and all manner of feathered visitors, Cley Marshes is a real treat for nature lovers.

So why not turn a day out into a little getaway?

Spend your days exploring the marshes, binoculars at the ready, then return to a warm welcome, good food, a well-earned drink and a cosy night's sleep at The Three Swallows.

With our four individually styled ensuite rooms, we're perfectly placed for a birdwatching break – and there's plenty more of North Norfolk to explore while you're here.

Whether you're a seasoned twitcher or simply enjoy a wander with an eye on the skies, we'd love to welcome you.

Come for the birds, stay for the welcome!

🧙‍♀️ A little All Hallows' Eve magic at The Three Swallows… 🐈‍⬛

They say that when the nights draw in and the October mist rolls across the Norfolk marshes, strange things can happen…

Perhaps it's a witch passing overhead, a black cat crossing your path, or simply the irresistible pull of a welcoming country pub! 😉

Whatever the folklore, there's no need for magic to find a warm welcome here at The Three Swallows.

So, whether you've been out enjoying a brisk autumn stroll, exploring our lovely corner of North Norfolk, or simply fancy escaping the October chill, follow the signs (and perhaps the odd spider's web!) and come on in.

Good food, something lovely behind the bar and a warm welcome await.

No spells required – just a little appetite! 🍺🍂🔥

Happy All Hallows' Eve from Bev, Chris and the team at The Three Swallows, Cley.

🍻 History, quality and community spirit all under one roof.

A huge congratulations to The Sportsman Inn in Carlisle on being crowned City Pub of the Year by Solway CAMRA.

For centuries, The Sportsman has been at the heart of Carlisle's pub scene, and today it continues to set the standard. From perfectly kept cask ales and delicious home-cooked food to the warm welcome that greets every customer, the team consistently delivers the kind of experience that keeps people coming back.

Its reputation speaks for itself. Alongside previous honours such as Winter Pub of the Season, The Sportsman has earned regular recognition in the CAMRA Good B**r Guide and remains one of the city's most loved traditional pubs.

This latest award celebrates the passion, hard work and dedication of the entire team, who continue to preserve the pub's rich heritage while making it a thriving destination for b**r lovers and the local community alike.

👏 Congratulations to our Publican, Amanda Picken, and everyone at The Sportsman Inn on another fantastic achievement.
