in Norfolk is a haunting landscape comprising a mixture of forest, arable farmland
and heath land as well as a Ministry of Defence training ground. Nature
lovers can enjoy spring with wildlife watching and kettle pond dipping. | |  | Some moors are wild and inhospitable places, but they are
also great places to see nature if you're prepared to look carefully. | |  | - Moorlands are good places for wildlife watchers because
are rich in game birds and heathland plants.
