Description

Norfolk LandscapesOne of the characteristic features of the Norfolk landscape, and indeed of most of East Anglia, is the general flatness of the landscape. The underlying geology is such that there are flat beds of rock that slop from West downwards to the East and soil has accumulated on top of those rocks through the millenia. There are some hills that are the result of glacial action depositing debris after the end of the last Ice Age, with some unique features known as eskers (lovely word) that are deposits of sand and gravel once upon a time acting as sand bars under the sea. These ridges can be seen standing proud of the generally rolling, undulating Norfolk plains. Over time, the landscape has been mightily modified by Man, but the general patchwork of fields, farms, and country estates found today arose in Medieval times. Here are some straightforward landscape shots from around the Blakeney area. Blakeney Marshes and coastal landscapes will be in a subsequent feature.
