Please Close Gate

I rode past this overgrown gate twice before I finally spotted it. I wish I never had, as the bridleway behind it eventually disappears by the sugar factory.

Hilgay Wetland Creation Project

Work is currently under way by the Norfolk Wildlife Trust to create an alternative reedbed habitat for bitterns, whose present ecosystem will be lost to an influx of saline water, due to changes in flood management at Cley Marshes on the Norfolk coast.

Bridleway to nowhere

This bridleway along the levee of the River Wissey heads towards Wissington Sugar Factory, but currently disappears into an impassable bank of stinging nettles, marsh grass and willow trees.
