North East Norfolk and Flegg, Eastern Arable
Author(s): Jeremy Lake
This small Character Area is a low-lying, fertile landscape, flatter than central Norfolk and hidden from the North Sea behind high sea walls or sand dunes. The Character Area is divided into three parts by the river valleys that form part of The Broads (NCA 80); two parts abut the coast with the third lying entirely inland between the valleys of the Bure and Yare. Of the landscape, 89% is open countryside and 86% of that land is under cultivation, while 2.4% falls within the North Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Of the Character Area, 4% is wooded and 11% is urban.
