Horsey is a small coastal parish in North Norfolk, Norfolk, England, lying where the low-lying marshes meet the dunes and saltmarsh of the east coast and the inland waterways of the Norfolk Broads. The landscape is dominated by grazed marsh, reedbeds and open water at Horsey Mere, with the familiar silhouette of Horsey Windpump a local landmark and reminder of the area's historic drainage and land‑management.
The parish has a quiet, largely agricultural character but attracts visitors for wildlife and coastal walks: Horsey Beach and Horsey Gap are well known for a winter haul‑out of grey seals and good birdwatching, so tourism and holiday lets are important to the local economy alongside farming. Socially it feels like a small, close community with a seasonal pulse when nature‑watchers and coastal walkers arrive.
