  • Blakeney & Cley Dark Skies Policy
    BLAKENEY & CLEY-NEXT-THE-SEA DARK SKIES POLICY Blakeney and Cley-Nest-the-Sea in North Norfolk are small villages, at the heart of both is a Conservation Area. They are surrounded by the sea and open countryside much of which has AONB or SSSI status. North Norfolk is the 15th darkest district in the country, and only just across the Glaven Valley is the Wiveton Downs Dark Sky Discovery Site, one of only a few in Norfolk, which provides special opportunities for people to enjoy the dark skies. Dark skies help the villages of Blakeney and Cley retain the rural character we all love and we want to play our part to preserve these. Over the years more light has been introduced into these villages as houses and businesses are renovated and enlarged with more windows, sky lights and outside lighting, which on occasion is overly bright, sometimes misdirected and not always carefully timed. Norfolk Coast Partnership have, as part of their 20-year vision that the area will be essentially unspoilt and with dark skies that show the richness and detail of constellations. Let’s work with them to achieve this. Norfolk is the eighth darkest county in England: NightBlight map 2016 by the Campaign to Protect Rural England showing areas of more or less light pollution. The areas with the brightest light are shown in brown/red/pink; the darkest skies are blue/green; medium bright is yellow/orange. North Norfolk is the 15th darkest district out of the 326 districts in England: North Norfolk AONB on CPRE’s NightBlight map 2016.

  • CJS Focus May 19
    Countryside Jobs Service Focus on Recreation In association with the Outdoor Recreation Network 20 May 2019 Sharing Good Practice – People and Dogs in the Outdoors By Dr Elizabeth Rogers The Outdoor Recreation Network recently delivered a seminar on the topic of “People and Dogs in the Outdoors” hosted by Forestry England and The Kennel Club. Over the course of the two days, delegates heard from key policy makers, stakeholders, academics and practitioners about important policy and practice matters relating to the opportunities and management of dogs in the outdoors. The event focused particularly on practical management measures and good practice and facilitated networking opportunities. Delegates greatly appreciated the information sharing and the key learnings from the seminar are summarised below: Dogs are part of the family Whether it’s a trip to the local park or a family holiday, many families will want to take their canine member with them. Since 2010, dog ownership is up 10% and is now at 8.5 million dogs. 26% of homes have a dog and astonishingly over half of all outdoor visits include a People and Dogs in the Outdoors seminar dog.1 delegate pack (Outdoor Recreation Network) For outdoor recreation sites there are commercial benefits to welcoming dogs. These include: Dog owners and families with dogs are a large and growing market; They visit off peak and are less weather dependent; 7,000 assistance dogs help people in ever-more ways.2 Given the importance of dogs to families, the focus should be on managing the demand rather than suppressing it.3 Dogs keep us healthy There are significant physical and mental health benefits from having a dog.

It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 4.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.

  • THE GLAVEN RIVER CATCHMENT Links Between Geodiversity and Landscape
    THE GLAVEN RIVER CATCHMENT Links between geodiversity and landscape - A resource for educational and outreach work - Tim Holt-Wilson Norfolk Geodiversity Partnership CONTENTS 1.0 Introduction 2.0 Landscape Portrait 3.0 Features to visit 4.0 Local Details 5.0 Resources 1.0 INTRODUCTION The River Glaven is partly a chalk river, of which there are more in England than any other country in the world. Chalk rivers are fed from groundwater sources in chalk bedrock, producing clear waters. Many of them have ‘winterbourne’ stretches in their headwaters, with intermittent or absent flow in summer. They have characteristic plant communities, and their gravelly beds, clear waters and rich invertebrate life support important populations of brown trout, salmon and other fish. The Stiffkey is a notable example of a chalk river in north Norfolk, and is classified as one between Edgefield Bridge (TG085363) and Glandford Bridge (TG045415). This report explains the links between geodiversity and the biological and cultural character of the river catchment. It provides a digest of information for education and interpretive outreach about this precious natural resource. Some specialist words are marked in blue and appear in the Glossary (section 5). 2.0 LANDSCAPE PORTRAIT 2.1 Topography and geology The River Glaven is a river in north Norfolk with a length of 17 km (11 miles). Its catchment drains an area of some 115 sq km, with its headwaters in the uplands of the Cromer Ridge. It is fed by several tributaries, including the Thornage Beck and Water Lane Beck, among other spring-fed sources; there are no tributaries in the lower reaches where it flows directly over chalk bedrock.
