New Inclosed Marsh, Norfolk is a coastal marsh located in the eastern part of England, specifically in Norfolk County. It is known for its unique geographical features, being a part of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The marsh is situated between the North Sea and the surrounding farmland, creating a diverse ecosystem that supports a wide range of flora and fauna.

The marsh is characterized by its vast expanse of salt marshes and saltings, which are areas of land that are regularly flooded by the tides. These marshes are formed by the deposition of sediment carried by the sea, creating a fertile habitat for a variety of plant species. Common plants found in the marsh include sea lavender, sea purslane, and samphire.

The area is also home to a diverse range of wildlife, including several species of birds. Migratory birds, such as waders and waterfowl, are attracted to the marsh during the breeding season, making it an important site for birdwatching. Rare bird species, such as the bittern and marsh harrier, can also be spotted in the area.

In addition to its ecological importance, New Inclosed Marsh is also a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The marsh offers opportunities for walking, cycling, and wildlife photography, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the coastal landscape. The marsh is easily accessible, with several footpaths and nature trails leading through the area.

Overall, New Inclosed Marsh, Norfolk is a valuable natural asset, offering both ecological and recreational benefits to visitors and locals alike.

County boundary at Walpole on A17, 1956 View NW, towards Sutton Bridge (see notice-board), entering Lincolnshire (Holland) from Norfolk. The Midland & Great Northern Joint (South Lynn - Sutton Bridge section) main line ran parallel here, just to the left; the house was probably for the crossing-keeper. The modern, dual-carriage A17 was built on the former track-bed.

Footpath off Grange Road Wingland There are not many footpaths in this area - the scenery is not to everyone's taste, and the farmers are not keen to have valuable land split by rights of way. This path survives and is marked on the 2004 OS map.
