#624: Scolt Head Island

I recently spent an overnight at the White Horse at Brancaster Staithe

It's recommended as a hotel to stay in.

The pub has a marsh bar down by the salt marsh. From there you can see the low hills of Scolt Head Island.

Scolt Head Island lies just off the North Norfolk Coast.

This would make a great field study location for coastl ecosystems work and investigations.

Baz Scampion has created this website about the island.

The island is accessible by ferry.


The island is a National Nature Reserve, which limits the activity that can take place there. A good example of landscape management.
