해피스버그‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 천연기념물

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

A truly great experience was passing close to a small Little Tern reservation. There were hundreds of these lovely, small birds, and the lady looking after them told us they had 77 nests in that area. She mentioned they are summer visitors, predominantly found in this region.

This viewpoint looks over the expansive freshwater lake of Barton Broad in Norfolk. The lake features gorgeous reed beds and waterlilies that provide home for a number of wonderful bird species including marsh harriers, bitterns, and great crested grebes. Boating enthusiasts are often seen exploring the lake's waters too.

The helpers and conservationists give valuable tips on where the groups can best be seen at the moment and they protect these dear animals and discourage some unreasonable tourists from getting too close to the seals. At the end of October I was able to see a few dozen young seal families. Good close-ups were possible with a 5x zoom lens.

In the summer months you. Will find the common seal and pups PLEASE do not get close if you frighten the mums they will abandon the pups the recommended distance is to keep 10+ meters away

The beach is closed to the public from November to end of March all viewing is done from the 2 viewing areas . Wardens are on duty weekends and all week to guide visitors and protect the seals in bad weather the seals come up into the dunes to give birth

Best viewing time for the seals (in my opinion) is early December until Christmas. This is because I love the older pups

Lovely hidden gem with superb views, a great tea room and delightful gardens. There's also Toad Hole Cottage Museum by the River Ant, which offers excellent walks and has several windmills to admire. https://howhilltrust.org.uk/
