  • North Norfolk Woodland Walks
    North Norfolk Woodland Walks So many lovely walks to choose from! North Norfolk is blessed with lovely natural landscapes and a range of diverse coastal and inland woodland walks to enjoy throughout the year. A haven for wildlife, they provide a chance to experience the delights of nature through the changing seasons, from bluebells in spring through leafy shade in summer, to glorious displays of colour in autumn and crisp frost effects in winter. Some of these woods are managed by North Norfolk District Council, others are owned by bodies such as the Forestry Commission, the Norfolk Wildlife Trust, or the National Trust. Each one is a special place, and all are open dawn till dusk. Green Flag Woods Three North Norfolk woods managed by North Norfolk District Council have been given Green Flag status under the prestig- ious Keep Britain Tidy award scheme. Green Flag awards are given to parks which are kept clean and are easy to access and navigate, with signs and information boards. They also hold family friendly community events such as treasure hunts or photography competitions. Please see the North Norfolk Dis- trict Council website for details. 1 Holt Country Park NR25 6SP A Green Flag woodland managed by North Norfolk Dis- trict Council, with easy paths and a sculpture trail, and a seasonal visitor centre. NNDC Car Park charge. Grid reference: TG082376 Sadlers Wood NR28 9HR This Green Flag wood is mainly a plantation of Scots pine, but also contains some veteran oak, sweet chest- nut and hornbeam trees. In spring the woodland floor is covered in bluebells.

Water here is about 3 feet deep. Front cover: more machiney. n Monday 12th May, six- teen members of the BAHS ...and a Church or two Oset off for the water-pow- ered Sawmill in Gunton Park. The rain held off and we were wel- comed by Barré Funnell and his enthusiastic band of volunteers. Our visit began with a short climb up to the Lake behind the Mill; from here we could see the dam which held back the water needed to power the wheel. Once back under cover, the water was released and we watched, in some amazement, as the Saw chugged its way along the length of a 12 foot lime log to create a long, even plank of wood. The whole process took about 40 minutes. This historic Mill was built in the early days of the Industrial Revolution, between 1821 & 1824. It served the needs of the Estate for a hundred years until after the first world war, when it was replaced by a horse-drawn portable steam engine. Subsequently, the Watermill fell into disrepair and the skilled craftsmen who had looked after it became redundant. A circular frame-saw, powered by steam, continued to be used until the mid-Thirties.

  • The Creation of Sheringham Park 1804-1839
    BEFORE THE RHODODENDRONS: the creation of Sheringham Park 1804-1839 The National Trust is one of our ‘Useful Links’, or you can reach their details about Sheringham Park directly from here: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/sheringham-park Now, thousands of visitors are attracted by the extensive plantings of rhododendrons (not introduced until the early 1850s), expansive parkland and views of the sea; but Humphry Repton, the self-styled ‘landscape gardener’ largely responsible for Sheringham Park, would have been mortified at the thought of what he called ‘felicity hunters’ being within striking distance of ‘The Bower’ (now known as Sheringham Hall, a private residence). The only visitors he aimed to please were those invited by the estate owner who, from October 1811, was Mr Abbott Upcher. But the transformation of the land to make his scheme possible began seven years before that, and the whole story covers thirty-five years. Thanks to the collection of Repton family papers held by Norfolk Record Office, it is possible to unpick the ‘improvement’ and have a privileged view of the intrigue behind this lengthy scheme. In 1804 the estate, comprising a modest farmhouse, manorial rights and 1074 acres of land, was surveyed with a view to sale by its owner, Mr Cook Flower. One of Humphry Repton’s sons, William, was a solicitor practising with his uncle in Aylsham and acted as Mr Flower’s agent. His advice to Mr Flower was that the estate would be worth considerably more if he inclosed the common land. He was well-placed to give this advice because his firm, Adey Repton & Co., undertook many local inclosure schemes thanks to streamlined legislation that allowed local commissioners to be appointed.
