  • Advisory Visit River Bure, Blickling Estate, Norfolk December 2017
    Advisory Visit River Bure, Blickling Estate, Norfolk December 2017 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Rob Mungovan of the Wild Trout Trust to the River Bure, National Trust’s Blickling Estate, Norfolk on 7th December 2017. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with James Tibbitts (Blickling Angling Club), Stuart Banks (National Trust) and Emily Long (National Trust). Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. The reach of the River Bure visited is part of a fishery managed by the Blickling Angling Club who rents the fishing rights from the National Trust. Blickling Angling Club stocks 500 brown trout annually in sizes ranging from 1lb to 1¼ lb. The club has 40 members who are able to fish 4 miles of water. Water clarity was good during the visit. However, severe weather (driving wind and rain) for part of the visit prevented views beneath the water and has affected the quality of some pictures. 2.0 Catchment Overview The River Bure at Blickling is in the upper reaches of the catchment and is still a relatively small river with an average width of ~6m. It receives flow from a number of tributary streams most notably The Cut above Itteringham, the stream from Mosseymere Wood, the stream from Ramsgate Street and the Black Water. The nearest main town is Aylsham which is over 7km downstream.

  • The Eldest Daughter’
    1 ‘The Eldest Daughter’ lickling Hall, one of England’s greatest Jacobean show- B piece mansions, lies not two miles north-west of Aylsham in Norfolk. It is a beautiful place, surrounded by woods, farms, sweeping parkland and gardens – gardens that were old in the fifteenth century, and which once surrounded the fifteenth-century moated manor house of the Boleyn family, the predecessor of the present building. That house is long gone, but it was in its day the cradle of a remarkable dynasty; and here, in those ancient gardens, and within the mellow, red-brick gabled house, in the dawning years of the sixteenth century, the three children who were its brightest scions once played in the spacious and halcyon summers of their early childhood, long before they made their dramatic début on the stage of history: Anne Boleyn, who would one day become Queen of England; her brother George Boleyn, who would also court fame and glory, but who would ultimately share his sister’s tragic and brutal fate; and their sister Mary Boleyn, who would become the mistress of kings, and gain a notoriety that is almost certainly undeserved. Blickling was where the Boleyn siblings’ lives probably 728AA_tx.indd 7 26/06/2012 08:24 Mary Boleyn began, the protective setting for their infant years, nestling in the broad, rolling landscape of Norfolk, circled by a wilderness of woodland sprinkled with myriad flowers such as bluebells, meadowsweet, loosestrife and marsh orchids, and swept by the eastern winds. Norfolk was the land that shaped them, that remote corner of England that had grown pros- perous through the wool-cloth trade, its chief city, Norwich – which lay just a few miles to the south – being second in size only to London in the Boleyns’ time.

  • Broadland County Wildlife Sites Review
    j Broadland County Wildlife Sites Review Final Report Norfolk Wildlife Trust February 2011 Study carried out on behalf of Broadland Community Partnership by Norfolk Wildlife Trust March 2011 Page 1 of 21 Foreword from ecological surveyor “I was pleased to be able to start this work in February, well before the beginning of the survey season in late April /early May as it inevitably takes time to find and contact the landowner. One landowner owned 4 of the potential county wildlife sites on my list and had a history of not granting access to his land; unfortunately this trend continued. However, other landowners are welcoming and charming, even offering the thirsty surveyor a cup of tea. Sometimes the Norfolk Network kicks in and one landowner can lead you to another. You have to ask a lot of questions, be persistent and enjoy a treasure hunt. Sites that have multiple-ownership are a special challenge, as the meadows at Spixworth proved to be, but the rewards can be many too: discovering a species-rich flora, meeting some interesting people, and the satisfaction of covering a large site. I like to think I’m successful at getting onto sites because I’m polite and friendly. It’s when landowners are wavering about allowing access that it’s difficult to strike the right balance of assertiveness, energy, politeness and clarifying that it is their choice in the end.” Page 2 of 21 Contents page 1.
