17th August 2024 and the weather looked like being kind to walkers. And so, now the marsh has had time to drain and dry, we’re off to Damgate Wood and Acle Marsh. Please join us. I promise you it’s dry underfoot!

Damgate Wood at Acle is a ‘wet woodland’, highly advisable to stay on the path! It gives onto the long distance path from North Norfolk Coast, Weaver’s Way (which we’ll join to cross the marsh)

The early sun is filtering through…

But around the water-drains the canopy is more open

Coming out of the woods, the path runs alongside the Yarmouth-to-Norwich railway embankment… separated by another drain, much overgrown with healthy vegetation!

Onto Weaver’s Way. In a month of so this garland will be heavy with red (poisonous) berries. It’s bryony

A chance to glimpse the Fleet (the main drain) before it’s lost behind a ‘hedge’ of reeds

We’re onto the marsh-proper now where the Fleet is more of an open-edged stream

The variety of water plants in the many drains here delights me: frogbit, arrowhead and, still submerged but visible, the leaves of the water soldier. All signs that there’s no pollution here!

That’s all for now, but there’ll be more of this marshland flora on this Tuesday’s Treats. See you then.
Hope you enjoyed

I think it posed there on purpose; you know what swans are like: total prima donnas!
