6 Coastal Levels EP/Edit1/02.08.10
6 Coastal Levels EP/Edit1/02.08.10 Coastal Levels Key Characteristics • Flat marshland adjacent to the coast or estuaries • Marine alluvium soils • Sinuous and complex mediaeval dyke networks • Uniform 19th century dyke networks • Cattle-grazed wet grassland • Widespread modification for arable production • Small plantations and carr woodlands • Inland side of rising ground often wooded • Important wildlife conservation areas • Unsettled landscape with domestic buildings on the fringes • Derelict wind pumps Location This landscape type is found in a number of areas along the whole of Suffolk’s coast. From north to south, these areas are: • A large area of marshes on marine alluviums flanking the River Waveney, starting on the edge of Beccles Common and extending eastward through Castle Marsh in North Cove, Share Marsh and Peto’s Marsh in Carlton Colville, Oulton Marsh, Flixton Marshes, Blundeston Marshes, Somerleyton Marshes, Herringfleet Marshes, Scale Marshes, Fritton Marshes, Belton Marshes and on towards the sea at Yarmouth. • Marshes flanking the Hundred River from Kessingland Beach westward through the Kessingland Levels up to Henstead. • Marshes flanking the River Blyth and Buss Creek from Walberswick westward up to Wolsey Bridge and Tinker’s Marshes. • The marshes of the Minsmere Level extending westward to Eastbridge in Theberton. Suffolk Landscape Character Assessment 6 Coastal Levels EP/Edit1/02.08.10 • The area of a former large mere lying to the south of the existing Meare at Thorpeness and the northern outskirts of Aldeburgh. • Marshes flanking the sides of the Rivers Alde, Ore and Butley from Aldeburgh south past Orford, to East Lane in Bawdsey. • Marshes flanking the Deben estuary, from Bawdsey to Ramsholt on the north side and from Felixstowe to Kirton on the south side, and then a smaller and thinner area at the head of the estuary, from Kyson Point in Woodbridge to just beyond Wilford Bridge. -
