This area is made up of expansive green fields, marshlands and views over the nearby coastline. It's a great spot for walking and birdwatching and is situated near the village of Morston. You can also access Morston Quay from nearby this point via boat, where you'll find the local seal colonies on Blakeney Point.

The ruins show just how large this place was in its heyday. The small remaining part now forms a fairly large parish church.

Nice spot to stop for a snack and a rest but plenty to learn too, if you find time to read the information boards.

Binham Priory is a ruined Benedictine priory that was founded in the late 11th Century. The nave of the priory church has become the Church of St. Mary and is still in use today. It's an incredibly peaceful place to take a break in the North Norfolk Coast AONB.

Binham is a gorgeous little village located along the Norflk Coast and within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Perhaps Binham's most impressive trademark is that it's home to Binham Priory, one of the finest example of a monastic ruin in Britain.

Binham Priory is a masterpiece in terms of monastic ruins and is located in its complete form along the stunning Norfolk Coast. The priory is steeped in rich history, having been founded in 1091 and being home to a Benedictine community of monks for 400 years. Feel free to explore the grounds and get lost in its architecture and history.

Binham Priory is among the most complete and impressive monastic ruins in Norfolk. This Benedictine priory was founded in 1091 by Peter des Valoines, a nephew of William the Conqueror. Many of its priors were unscrupulous and the history of the priory is one of almost continuous scandal. The nave of the priory church, with its splendid 13th century west front and fine tiers of Norman arches, is now the parish church, and displays the former rood screen with medieval saints overpainted with Protestant texts. The extensive ruins beyond emphasise the original size of the monastery (https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/binham-priory/)
