Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Blakeney Esker SSSI. Blakeney Esker is an nationally important geological site in north Norfolk.

The Esker was made by melt water from glaciers forming a tunnel beneath the ice and carrying large quantities of sand, gravel and flint which the glaciers had scraped out. Sediments were laid down during periods of low melting rate, leaving the features visible today. This section of the Esker is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

The Esker has long history of mineral extraction, which ceased in the late 1980s. The site also provides diverse habitats for a wide range of birds, reptiles and invertebrates.
