  • Layman's Report
    Titchwell Marsh Coastal Change Project Layman’s Report Introduction Titchwell Marsh RSPB Nature Reserve was created between 1974 and 1978. Today the Reserve covers 379 ha of the North Norfolk coastline and is one of the RSPB’s most popular nature reserves. The location of the reserve is illustrated below. Historical records show that by 1717 the land that is now occupied by the nature reserve had been claimed from the sea and for over 200 years was in agricultural use, as well as a short period of time as a military training area. Following the devastating east coast floods in 1953 the sea defences protecting the land were breached and never repaired. The land returned back to saltmarsh. In the 1970s, the RSPB acquired the site and enclosed 38 ha of the saltmarsh within a series of sea walls creating 11 ha of brackish (intermediate salinity) lagoon, 18 ha of freshwater reedbeds and 12 ha of freshwater lagoons. Combined with coastal dunes, saltmarsh, tidal reedbed and small stands of broad‐leaved woodland and scrub, Titchwell supports a wide range of habitats in a relatively small area. Titchwell Marsh is now of national and international importance for birds and other wildlife and is a component of two Natura 2000 sites ‐ the North Norfolk Coast Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and The North Norfolk Coast Special Protection Area (SPA). In addition Titchwell Marsh lies within the North Norfolk Coast Ramsar Site, the North Norfolk Coast Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).The reserve is noted, in particular, for the following: The second largest reedbed in North Norfolk, nationally important for breeding marsh harrier, bearded tit and bittern.

  • Babingley Catchment Outreach Report-NGP
    THE BABINGLEY 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 Babingley River is a chalk river, of which there are more in England than any other country in the world. Chalk rivers are fed from groundwater sources, producing clear waters. Most 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 Babingley is the best example of a chalk river in west Norfolk. 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 Babingley River is a river in north-west Norfolk with a length of 19.6 km (12 miles). The river falls some 25 m (82 ft) from its headwaters at Flitcham to where it meets the sea at Wootton Marshes. This represents a mean fall of approximately 1.27 m (4.2 ft) per km. However this fall is mostly accomplished over a distance of 7.7 km upstream of Babingley Bridge (Castle Rising), at a steeper gradient of 3.24 m per km.

  • Pre Submission Document
    244 Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Pre-Submission Document G Rural West Norfolk G.41 Gayton, Grimston and Pott Row (KRSC) Key Rural Service Centre Description G.41.1 Gayton is a large, fairly compact village situated astride the B1145 road, seven miles east of King’s Lynn, close to the source of the Gaywood River. The village consists of two older parts, around the junction of the B1145 and the B1153 near to the Church of St. Nicholas and about half a mile further west around the Rampant Horse Public House. The older buildings are mostly two storeys with pitched roofs. The building materials of the older buildings are mostly clunch or red brick with pantiles or slates for the roofs. Some of the buildings are rendered or colourwashed. The population of Gayton was recorded as 1,432 in the 2011 Population Census.(34) G.41.2 Gayton falls within the “Farmland with Woodland and Wetland” landscape. This is described in the Landscape Character Assessment(35) as having mixed agricultural fields, interspersed with woodland and areas of open water. This creates a medium scale landscape with a varied sense of enclosure that is flat to gently undulating. G.41.3 Grimston is a large village seven miles east of King’s Lynn, centred around the Old Bell Guest House. The form of the older part of the village is linear, extending from the Church of St. Botolph in the south to Ivy Farm in the north. Newer development has mostly been located to the west, on Low Road, Lynn Road and on Vong Lane.
