Our View
Martham Broad NNR is located in northeast Norfolk and supports a range of wetland communities including open water with rich aquatic flora, such as holly-leaved naiad and a rich community of stoneworts. The site comprises two shallow Broads bisected by the navigable River Thurne, as well as surrounding fen, reedbed and marsh. The reserve supports breeding birds including bittern, bearded tit, common tern, Cetti’s warbler and marsh harrier. Stately common cranes use the reserve and can often be seen flying over. The site is excellent for swallowtail butterflies and many other insects in summer, including the Norfolk hawker. Otters are present and Chinese water deer are relatively easily observed. Several bat species also occur, and can be seen emerging at twilight. Good numbers of over-wintering wildfowl frequent the reserve and surrounding fields. You may also see the ghostly hen harrier and tiny merlin during the winter months, and barn owls are frequently seen.

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.
