Abstract: |
This area surrounds and extends inland north, south and west, from the open waters of The Wash (England's largest tidal estuary). Mostly reclaimed from both freshwater fen and sea marsh, The Fens is a large scale, open and expansive low lying landscape. It is a very rural Character Area and, agriculturally, hugely productive. Almost 97% of this Character Area is open countryside with 91% of that land cultivated. Woodland is sparse, covering less than 1% of the total area, while 3% of the landscape is urban and just under 1% of the Character Area falls within the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). |
