Close to Nature
A Haven for Bird Watchers
Tucked into the quiet of Great Ryburgh, The Blue Boar Inn is a peaceful retreat for anyone who loves the outdoors — with a garden alive with local birds, glorious country sunsets, and the North Norfolk coast just a short drive away.
Popular with Local Birds
Robins, blue tits, woodpeckers and more visit the garden and feeders throughout the year.
Beautiful Sunsets
Watch the sky turn gold over open fields and hedgerows — the perfect end to a country day.
Close to the Sea
The unspoilt North Norfolk coast, with its beaches and nature reserves, is a short drive away.
Wake Up to Birdsong
Stay Where Nature Feels Close
If you are looking for a stay that is truly close to nature, you will feel at home here. Our garden is a haven for wildlife, and mornings begin with birdsong drifting through the windows of our old coaching inn.
Bring your binoculars, settle into a quiet corner of the garden, and see how many of our regular visitors you can spot — from the ever-cheerful robin to the striking great spotted woodpecker at the feeders.
As the day draws to a close, the North Norfolk sky puts on a show. Watch the sun set over the fields with a glass in hand, before the peace of a proper country night.
Birds of the Blue Boar Garden
A few of the friends who share our corner of Norfolk. Photographs taken here at the inn.
Robin
Our resident robins are rarely far away — bold, curious and always first to greet the morning.
Blue Tit
Blue tits nest in the garden boxes each spring, darting between the hedgerows and feeders.
Great Spotted Woodpecker
A real treat to spot — the great spotted woodpecker visits our feeders in its striking black, white and red.
Jackdaw
Jackdaws and their cousins gather in the tall trees around the inn, chattering through the day.
Spring Fledglings
In late spring the garden fills with fledglings finding their wings — a joy to watch over breakfast.
On the Gate
Pull up a chair, keep still, and the garden comes to life around you.
Sunsets, Birdsong & the Sea
Escape the noise and reconnect with nature. Beautiful sunsets, a garden full of birds, and the wild North Norfolk coast — all from your base at The Blue Boar Inn.
