Claylands

The Claylands Living Landscape covers the entire area of the South Norfolk district. The landscape is dominated by arable farming, interspersed with a number of ancient woodlands, isolated pockets of grassland, hedgerows, ponds, greens, commons and river valleys. Historically, many of these areas were connected, but encroaching development for housing and a move towards larger-scale farming has left many wildlife habitats isolated.
