Whitlingham Country Park, just a couple
of miles from the centre of Norwich, includes the first broad to have
been created in Norfolk for centuries and boasts a thriving wildlife
habitat for both plants and animals.
Wildlife includes Egyptian geese, mute swans, wildfowl,
dragonflies and an occasional sighting of the iconic swallowtail
butterfly.
The park, once part of the Crown Point Estate owned
by the famous mustard making Colman family, is now managed by the
Whitlingham Charitable Trust with assistance from the Broads Authority.
The country park also has many historical features
including Norfolk's best preserved lime kiln, former chalk pit workings
and a manor house ruin with a royal connection.
