  • Thorpeness Mere', Before the 1999 Boundary Revision
    COUNTY: SUFFOLK SITE NAME: LEISTON-ALDEBURGH DISTRICT: SUFFOLK COASTAL Status: Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) notified under Section 28 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 Local Planning Authorities: SUFFOLK COASTAL DISTRICT COUNCIL, Suffolk County Council National Grid Reference: TM 461595 Area: 534.34 (ha.) 1,319.82 (ac.) Ordnance Survey Sheet 1:50,000: 156 1:10,000: TM 45 NE, TM 46 SE Date Notified (Under 1949 Act): 1955 Date of Last Revision: Ð Date Notified (Under 1981 Act): 1986 Date of Last Revision: 1999 Other Information: Part RSPB and Suffolk Wildlife Trust reserves. The site was named 'North Warren and Thorpeness Mere', before the 1999 boundary revision. Description and Reasons for Notification: Leiston-Aldeburgh contains a rich mosaic of habitats including acid grassland, heath, scrub, woodland, fen, open water and vegetated shingle. This mix of habitats in close juxtaposition and the associated transition communities between habitats is unusual in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths. The variety of habitats support a diverse and abundant community of breeding and overwintering birds, a high number of dragonfly species and many scarce plants. The heathland of North Warren, Aldringham Common, The Walks and Thorpeness Common is a fragment of the once extensive Sandlings heaths of coastal Suffolk and is of varying composition. There are patches of sand sedge Carex arenaria and heather Calluna vulgaris dispersed within acid grassland. Bracken Pteridium aquilinum and scrub, notably gorse Ulex europaeus and U. gallii also form part of the heathland. The short sward acidic grassland is dominated by sheepÕs-fescue Festuca ovina and common bent Agrostis capillaris with some bare patches, bryophytes and lichens.
