I headed to the Norfolk Coast on Sunday to share in a Dinner with family and friends. After we said our good bye's, I took the opportunity to have a 40 mile drive along the Coast Road, heading west. The road is most of the time a inland separated from the sea by large expanses of salt marsh. Many areas of the salt marshes are now long established Nature Reserves, with Cley Marshes being Britains oldest established Bird Sanctuary. The villages that the road travels through the heart of are very picturesque, with Churches, Barns,Windmills, Houses and Boundary Walls commonly constructed of flint stone. Depending on ones wealth whilst doing construction, the flint is used in a variety of finishes. In some of the more rustic structures a combination of construction materials are used, large
whole flint, small whole flint, Broken Flint, Chalk, Brick, this is a construction known locally as Rubble Wall.
These villages were not designed to have regular vehicle traffic pass through and have many bends and bridges only passable as a one way traffic, this adds to their character making them very photogenic
This is a area I have taken many photo's and always intend to.
