ノーフォークの湖・トップ20

Great little viewing area with a couple of benches and a great view over the Mere.

Refreshments at the Two Magpies

Take time to go off the trail to the bird hides and vantage points around the water. The route is best in spring before the nettles take over the path in summer!

Sparham Pools is a wetland nature reserve in a former gravel quarry. The chalk streams that feed the ponds are clear and clean and the area is now rich in wildlife. Look out for a variety of duck species, including Shoveler, Gadwall, Pochard, and Tufted duck, as well as the less common Goldeneye and Goosander.

The pub in Thomson (The Chequers) on Griston Road is worth a visit...old with lots of character.
