North Marsh is a coastal marshland located in Norfolk, England. This expansive area is part of the larger Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and is renowned for its stunning natural landscape and diverse range of wildlife. The marsh is situated adjacent to the North Sea and is characterized by its vast expanse of salt marshes and saltings.

The marshland is predominantly flat and is intersected by a network of tidal creeks and channels that meander through the area. These tidal creeks are influenced by the ebb and flow of the North Sea tides, creating a dynamic and ever-changing environment.

The North Marsh is a haven for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts, as it supports a significant population of migrating and resident bird species. Some of the notable species that can be spotted in the area include avocets, brent geese, dunlins, and redshanks. The marshes also serve as an important breeding ground for a range of bird species, contributing to the overall biodiversity of the area.

In addition to its ecological significance, North Marsh also offers recreational opportunities for visitors. The marshland provides excellent walking trails, allowing visitors to explore the unique landscape and observe the abundant wildlife. It is also a popular destination for photographers, who are drawn to the marshes' picturesque scenery and stunning sunsets.
