Duel-Lake.Pdf Duel Lake Norfolk An extremely attractive lake surrounded by woodland. Details Local manager Price: £495,000 Freehold Matt Marples Location: Cawston, Aylsham, Norfolk 07979 755 118 Size: About 20 acres for sale [email protected] OS Landranger: OS No 238 Grid ref: TG 163 251 Nearest post code: NR11 6UN Description It is such a rare wildlife opportunity to find a natural lake set within a large woodland. This gin-clear lake is staggeringly beautiful. Large enough for boating, or being fished the lake is a wonderful wildlife refuge. A series of cleared pathways meander their way beneath the trees surrounding the lake. These pathways enable the visitor to explore the immense variation in character that is waiting to be discovered from reed beds to old fishing stations. The purchasers of the woodland will be asked to enter into a covenant to ensure the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of adjoining woodlands and meadows. Various trees and shrubs surround the lake giving shade to the edges and offering places to sit. Riparian areas offer fantastic wildlife watching opportunities The thrill of watching a roe deer drink from the still waters of the lake or a water boatman skim across the surface are hard to beat. Used by various waterfowl and swans during the year the enormous breadth of wildlife means owners will never be bored. The lake is surrounded by various fishing points as it was previously stocked and used by a local fishing club. Fed by a number of streams and a seasonal spring the lake is amazingly clear. It is shallow but could be desilted in parts to giver deeper areas. A small island offers a great refuge for ducks to nest or a very private camping spot. An excellent and private track runs along the eastern side of the lake providing access. Small paths surround the lake, many of these overgrown but easily cleared giving access to some fantastic camping spots. A pumping house is accessed by a local farmer who ensures levels remain as constant as possible. The purchasers of the woodland will be asked to enter into a covenant to ensure the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of adjoining woodlands and meadows. A idyllic lake set within a woodland, good for camping and numerous outdoor activities. Used previously for fishing the lake is now an established wildlife sanctuary For those seeking a tranquil retreat it could be ideal for forest bathing This Japanese practice is a process of relaxation; known in Japan as shinrin yoku. The simple method of being calm and quiet amongst the trees, observing nature around you whilst breathing deeply can help both adults and children de-stress and boost health and wellbeing in a natural way. Or the more English pastime of boating, A punt would be perfect for navigating the expanses of the lake. Perhaps the ultimate post Covid remedy. Dual Lake is named after the last recorded duel fought in Norfolk which happened close to the lake. Oliver Le Neve who was a Norfolk squire and landowning sportsman who lived most of his life at Witchingham Hall in Great Witchingham, Norfolk, England, fought in 1698 a mortal duel with Sir Henry Hobart of Blickling Hall, Duel Lake forms part of a much larger area of woodland extending to over 130 acres called Warren House Wood. The landscape forms part of a gently undulating predominantly arable agricultural area characterised by large fields with small settlements and large areas of woodland. Whilst none of the woodland is designated as ancient woodland the Ordinance survey records of 1814 show this area had been afforested by that time. The Marriott's Way runs just north of the woodland between Norwich and Aylsham, Norfolk, England. Its total length is 24.6 miles (39.5 km). It has a mixture of surfaces; tarmac, compacted gravel, and earth and can be used on foot cycle or horseback. This gives the new owner travelling from Norwich or Aylsham a green and tranquil way of visiting their lake.

  • Themelthorpe Loop 12.5 Miles
    Themelthorpe Loop 12.5 miles Getting started This walk starts at Whitwell and Reepham Station: don’t forget to pop in for a drink and a marvel at their trains! Getting there There are places to park in Reepham, Cawston, and a car park at Whitwell and Reepham Station. What to expect Mainly off-road, along tracks and quiet lanes. Marriott’s Way can be quite muddy in sections so wear suitable footwear. Facilities Reepham has many facilities including a pub, shop and cafe. Whitwell and Reepham Station serves food, drink and has toilets. The longest of the Marriott’s Way circular walks joins the villages of Cawston, Reepham and Great Witchingham by following the ‘Themelthorpe Curve’. Marriott’s Way is made up of two former train lines: the Midland and Great Northern line (originally joining Norwich with Melton Constable), and the Great Eastern Railway line (linking Wroxham and County School). In 1959, all passenger traffic stopped flowing through Norwich City Station, but the station was too important for goods to shut completely. So as to avoid a journey all the way to Cromer to get from one side of Norwich to the other, the Themelthorpe curve was installed to join these two lines which had been rivals before nationalization. The curve was the sharpest corner on any line in the UK, so tight that trains were limited to 10mph when going around. The path now is home to the largest badger sett in Norfolk, mainly thanks to the imported materials used to build the railways being firm enough to support their extensive network of tunnels.

  • Foxhunting and the Landscape Between 1700 and 1900; with Particular Reference to Norfolk and Shropshire
    Foxhunting and the landscape between 1700 and 1900; with particular reference to Norfolk and Shropshire Jane Bevan Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of History October 2011 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on the condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived from it, may be published without acknowledgement Abstract This thesis explores the history of foxhunting from 1700 to 1900. It examines how perceptions of an ideal hunting country, and what constituted an elite quarry, altered in tandem with alterations to the English lowland countryside. The relationship between the landscape and changes bought about by the upheaval of enclosure and agricultural development are discussed, in the context of the evolution in practice and geographical spread of foxhunting, at a national, regional and county-wide level. Several long-held beliefs are challenged. The social history of foxhunting and the increased participation of both ‘polite’ urban neophytes and prosperous tenant farmers during the two centuries is compared with the declining involvement of women. The impact of hunt clubs and the rise of subscription packs in the two study areas is contrasted. The influence of changes in the landscape on foxhunting is considered alongside the reciprocal impact of foxhunters manipulating the physical surroundings to enhance their sport. A detailed study of the history of hunting and its most iconic feature, the covert, in Norfolk and Shropshire highlights the importance of landowners control over the countryside.

  • Great Witchingham Church of England Primary School
    Great Witchingham Church of England Primary School The School Great Witchingham Primary School is a Church of England Voluntary Aided School which caters for the children of the villages of Alderford, Attlebridge, Great Witchingham/Lenwade, Morton-on-the-Hill and Weston Longville. Parents from outside our normal catchment area choose the school because of the Christian ethos of the school. It is a primary school for children between the ages of 4+ and 11. (Years R - 6.) Great Witchingham is a member of The Trinity Federation of Church Schools, with St Peter’s Easton and Hockering Primary Schools, the first three church school partnership in Norfolk. Mrs Livings leads all three schools and the partnership provides both staff and pupils with exciting new opportunities for teaching and learning. Church Links Great Witchingham has a distinctive character which makes the school a place of Christian love and care where all are welcomed and included. The ethos of the school aims to create an environment in which each child is happy and achieving his or her full potential. Ofsted in November 2013 judged spiritual development to be outstanding because pupils are given many opportunities to think about broad issues and form a view of where they fit in, so they get a clearer sense of their own identity. Outdoor learning also gives them a sense of the spiritual as they work in, and with, nature. Overall the school was judged by Ofsted to be good across all areas. Religious Education and Collective Worship The children are taught religious education according to the Norfolk Agreed Syllabus.
