There’s plenty to discover including Norfolk’s jewel in the crown, says Norfolk Wildlife Trust Reserves Officer, Robert Morgan, at Norfolk’s largest Broad this month
Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s Hickling Broad and Marshes is a National Nature Reserve surrounding Norfolk’s largest broad and is a truly beautiful place to spend the day.
The vast swaying reedbeds are alive with singing warblers; often accompanied by the deep booming voice of bittern and the familiar call of the cuckoo. Guided boat trips take visitors to the tree tower that allows views across a stunning landscape, and several hides overlook large glistening pools that abound with birds.
