Godwick Moor is a vast expanse of low-lying land located in the county of Norfolk, England. Covering an area of approximately 300 hectares, the moor is situated near the village of Tittleshall, about 20 kilometers north-west of the town of Dereham. The landscape of Godwick Moor is characterized by its flat and open terrain, making it an ideal habitat for various species of wildlife and plants.

The moorland is predominantly composed of wet grassland, interspersed with numerous small pools and marshy areas. These wet habitats provide a haven for a diverse range of plants, including several species of sedges, reeds, and rushes. The moor is also home to a variety of bird species, such as lapwings, snipes, and redshanks, which are attracted to the wetland environment.

In addition to its natural beauty, Godwick Moor also holds historical significance. It was once part of a large medieval estate owned by the Godwick Manor, which dates back to the 12th century. Ruins of a medieval chapel can still be found on the moor, providing a glimpse into its past.

Today, Godwick Moor is a protected site, recognized for its ecological importance. It is managed by local conservation bodies and is accessible to the public, offering opportunities for nature walks and birdwatching. The tranquil and unspoiled landscape of Godwick Moor provides a peaceful retreat for visitors, enabling them to appreciate the beauty of Norfolk's countryside.
