  • 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.

  • Revised Pre-Devensian Glacial Stratigraphy in Norfolk, England, Based on Mapping and Till Provenance
    Netherlands Journal of Geosciences — Geologie en Mijnbouw | 84 - 2 | 77 - 85 | 2005 Revised Pre-Devensian glacial stratigraphy in Norfolk, England, based on mapping and till provenance R.J.O. Hamblin1-2, B.S.P. Moorlock1'2, J. Rose2, J.R. Lee1-2, J.B. Riding1, S.J. Booth1 & S.M. Pawley2 1 British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG, U.K. 2 Department of Geography, Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham, Surrey, TW20 OEX, U.K. Corresponding author Dr. R.J.O. Hamblin; email: [email protected] Manuscript received: October 2003; accepted: November 2004 Abstract Mapping combined with till provenance studies have resulted in a re-appraisal of the pre-Devensian glacial stratigraphy of Norfolk, England. The traditional model invoked two formations, a North Sea Drift Formation (NSDF) overlain by a Lowestoft Formation, formed by co-existing ice- sheets originating in Scandinavia and Northern Britain respectively. The NSDF included three diamictons, the First, Second and Third Cromer tills. The Briton's Lane Sands and Gravels were considered to overlie the Lowestoft Formation. However, our work has shown this stratigraphy to be untenable, and we propose a model of several glaciations instead of co-existing ice-sheets. In our revised stratigraphy, the oldest formation, the Happisburgh Formation (including the Happisburgh or First Cromer Till) includes massive, sandy tills derived from northern Britain. The overlying Lowestoft Formation, including the Second Cromer (Walcott) Till is confirmed as derived from the west, introducing much Jurassic material as well as Chalk. The Sheringham Cliffs Formation includes both brown sandy tills (the Third Cromer Till) and 'marly drift', in a variety of tectonic relationships, and derived from the north and NNW.
