Skeyton, near North Walsham
Skeyton Corner is a broad landscape viewpoint rather than a reserve. From the road junction, the county club describes distant views towards the Bure Valley, Westwick and neighbouring woodland, and recommends the location for migration watching. Buzzard is prominent in the recorded list, with Kestrel and Red Kite also documented. It suits a patient scan over farmland and the wider sky when you have a short stop available. The viewing opportunity is roadside: there is no implied access to the surrounding fields or private woods, and room for vehicles is limited.
