Mill Waters is a picturesque freshwater ecosystem located in Norfolk, England. As the name suggests, it consists of a combination of lakes, pools, ponds, and freshwater marshes, creating a diverse and thriving habitat for a wide range of plant and animal species.

The centerpiece of Mill Waters is its expansive lake, which stretches across a significant portion of the area. The lake is home to various aquatic plants, such as water lilies and reeds, which provide shelter and food for numerous species of fish, amphibians, and waterfowl.

Surrounding the lake are smaller pools and ponds, each with its own distinct characteristics. These smaller bodies of water serve as breeding grounds for different types of amphibians, including frogs and newts. They also attract a variety of bird species, which use the water as a source of hydration and foraging.

Connected to the lake and pools is a sprawling freshwater marsh, characterized by its lush vegetation and shallow water. This marshland provides a crucial habitat for numerous plant species, such as cattails and sedges, as well as a haven for diverse bird populations, including herons and ducks.

The Mill Waters area is carefully managed to preserve its natural beauty and ecological balance. It offers a tranquil setting for visitors to observe and appreciate the rich biodiversity that thrives within its waters and wetlands. Whether it's birdwatching, fishing, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, Mill Waters is a haven for nature enthusiasts seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Wave-cut platform below the cliffs at Hunstanton Over the millennia the multi coloured chalk and carrstone cliffs have gradually been undercut by tidal wave action and have been washed away to leave a rock platform. In turn the constant abrasive action of the sea, sand and pebbles has slowly opened up the weak joints in the wave-cut platform to produce a distinct grid pattern.
