Celebrating the restored harbour in Cley-next-the-Sea

• Click to watch our report from Kate Prout

For hundreds of years the village of Cley-next-the-Sea in north Norfolk was a major port - with boats arriving from all over the world.

Then, as often happens, the river silted up and the trade moved elsewhere.

A few years ago the villagers decided to restore their harbour and with work completed they've dedicated a whole day to celebrate it.

Perhaps most famous for its windmill and salt marshes, Cley-next-the-Sea is built around the meandering River Glaven

Once a thriving international port that traded with the low countries, the marshes were covered at high tide and boats of all shapes and sizes navigated all the way up into the village

Between the 17th and 19th centuries due to a number of reasons, including a ill fated dam, the river started silting up.

The Customs House closed in 1853 and by the First World War it was pleasure boats only

Five years ago a group of determined villagers decided to get the harbour flowing again and with some serious fundraising and good old fashioned leg work opened up the silted river
