  • 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.

  • 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.
