Halvergate Marshes, Protected wetland site in Norfolk, England.
Halvergate Marshes spans 1,432 hectares of interconnected waterways, grazing fields, and reed beds between the River Bure and River Yare.
The area transformed from a Roman-era estuary to grazing land through drainage systems implemented 400 years ago using traditional windpumps.
The marshes maintain traditional farming methods through the Broads Grazing Marsh Conservation Scheme, established in 1985 to protect agricultural heritage.
Visitors can access the marshes through designated paths and observe numerous bird species, including winter populations of Bewick's swans.
The site contains specialized aquatic communities in its drainage ditches, supporting rare species of pondweeds and the Norfolk hawker dragonfly.
