Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Martham Broad This view was taken in southerly direction, from the footpath leading past here. Extensive reed beds obscure the view to open water but on looking across this sea of reeds, the turbines at West Somerton's Blood Hill wind farm can be glimpsed on the horizon (through the reeds, at left). Further to the west (right of centre) the much larger solitary wind turbine by Martham can also be seen.
Martham Broad National Nature Reserve forms part of the Upper Thurne Broads and Marshes SSSI and is owned and managed by Norfolk Wildlife Trust. The reserve consists of open shallow brackish water surrounded by reeds and sedge fens and is believed to have been created by the flooding of peat bogs prior to the 13th century. Due to its excellent water quality, the broad has one of the most diverse assemblages of aquatic plants in Broadland. The surrounding reed swamp is composed of common reed and commercial sedge beds. |
