Episode notes
*The National Trust Podcast is changing.* From March 2025 the National Trust Podcast will look different so we can bring you more immersive stories in Nature, History and Adventure. Stay on this stream for our new nature podcast, 'The Wild World Of…' and look out for our new history podcast, 'Back When'. Remember to follow your favourite shows from National Trust Podcasts to be the first to hear new episodes as they arrive.
In this classic episode, experience life on Blakeney Point in Norfolk as it transforms throughout the year. From the mass arrival of seal pups in winter to the noisy feathered-frenzy of summer, discover how a remote stretch of shingle coastline is home to some of the UK's most unique marine wildlife.
