STIFFKEY:
A settlement has existed at Stiffkey since at least Roman times, but it has remained a small village of less than 300 residents. Despite a number of noteworthy past inhabitants, the most famous was Harold Davidson, the village vicar in the 1930s. Rev. Davidson hit the headlines when he became embroiled in a scandal concerning London prostitutes. As he attempted to clear his name he found himself on the wrong side of a lion's cage and was mauled to death. Predominantly a farming community, Stiffkey is also known for its cockles - 'Stewkey Blues'. It will take a few minutes stroll from the village to reach the salt marshes, but is well worth the effort. There are also plenty of well sign-posted walks in the countryside around the village. The village pub 'Red Lion' serves local beer and food and the post-office supplies fresh bread, milk, newspapers etc.
