Beschrijving

Salthouse Heath is a dry coastal heathland which was formed thousands of years ago by glacial deposits as part of the Cromer Ridge. The land rises steeply towards the coast, whilst undulating gently away southwards. The Heath is a rare mosaic of acid dry heath, dry acid grassland, dense gorse scrub and broad-leaved woodland, bounded by blackthorn. Wildflowers here include heath bedstraw, lady's bedstraw, stitchwort, cranesbill, speedwell and wood sage. Amongst these can be found adders, common lizard, slow worm, hares and roe deer. Birds are heath specialists eg Nachtzwaluw, Roodborsttapuit, Kneu, Geelgors, Boomleeuwerik, Torenvalk, Zomertortel, Buizerd, Rode Wouw, Boomvalkand Taigaboomkruiper.
