Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: A first glimpse A first glimpse of the open water, taken from the public footpath which skirts the northeastern edge of the mere. It is difficult to spot the mere for the tall reeds surrounding it, with only the thatched roofs of boathouses (one seen at right) and the occasional tree rising above the extensive reed beds.
Horsey Mere is the only broad in Norfolk surrounded by a high level bank for which reason it is called a mere, rather than a broad. The term 'mere' originates from an old Dutch word meaning an artificial lake. The mere is part of the Broads national park area, and the Horsey Estate is part of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Horsey Estate was purchased by the National Trust from the Buxton family in 1948. The Buxton family still manage the estate in partnership with the National Trust and it is thanks to the fact that nature conservation has always been a priority for the Buxtons that Horsey remains an important place for wildlife. In winter Horsey Mere is an internationally important wildfowl refuge and home to thousands of ducks including teal, wigeon and pochard. |
