Our View
The Bure Marshes NNR is a fine example of typical Broads undrained wetland, including four Broads and a wide range of habitats and plant and animal communities. The fens and waterways support many rare and notable insect species, including swallowtail butterflies and Norfolk hawker dragonflies. They also support 18 species of dragonflies and damselflies, and otters, water voles and grass snakes are found throughout the reserve. Breeding and wintering bird species including bittern, marsh harrier, reed, sedge and grasshopper warblers, bearded tit, and many wildfowl. In winter, look out for herons and flocks of wildfowl on the river. Winter migrants including waxwings, redwings and fieldfares are often seen, while large groups of mixed tits and finches can be seen and heard moving through the alder woodlands to feed. The reserve also contains a wide range of wetland plants, including rarities such as water soldier, milk parsley and marsh pea.

About the area
Discover Norfolk
The North Norfolk Coast is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and probably the finest of its kind in Europe. Here you’ll find a string of quaint villages and small towns – Holkham, Wells-next-the-Sea and Cley next the Sea are 21st-century favourites, while Sheringham and Cromer are classic examples of a good old-fashioned seaside resort where grand Victorian hotels look out to sea. Further round the coast you'll find Great Yarmouth, one of the most popular resorts in the UK and packed full of amusements, shops and seashore entertainment. And let's not forget Norwich, the region's only city.
Norfolk prides itself on its wealth of historic houses, the most famous being Sandringham, where Her Majesty the Queen and her family spend Christmas. Many of Norfolk’s towns have a particular charm and a strong sense of community. The quiet market towns of Fakenham and Swaffham are prime examples, as well as Thetford, with its popular museum focusing on the TV comedy series Dad’s Army which was filmed in the area.
