Bring your destination to life with our team of interpretation specialists. Landmark have completed interpretation projects for

many iconic locations, bringing history, geography and culture together for all visitors in a dynamic and engaging way.

Martin’s CarrDr Martin George came across Larkbush Island whilst working as the East Anglia Regional Officer for the Nature Conservancy (Natural England’s predecessor), and was fascinated by what he saw; the untouched alder carr woodland, the views across Hoveton Great Broad and the diversity of wildlife.His aim was to share what he found and give visitors the opportunity to take a few precious moments away from the hubbub of daily life and soak up the natural atmosphere.

Today Natural England, in partnership with the Hoveton Estate, continues to uphold Dr George’s original intentions and manage the site for the enjoyment of the public and the protection of the environment that inspired him.

Here, the trail he laid takes you through an area of mature woodland, with tall trees and an open undergrowth. This is something rare and unusual in The Broads. Much of the wet woodland in the area has grown up since the Second World War, when traditional commercial activities like hay-cutting and thatching began to disappear, but here there is a hint of what a more ancient Norfolk may have looked like.

Dr George said:

“These communities are so wet, treacherous and jungle-like that they were previously seldom, if ever, seen by the holiday-maker. But the trail enables people to visit them in safety, and at the same time see a Broad which is not open to boat traffic, but which is of great scenic beauty.” The Land Use, Ecology and Conservation of Broadland, (1992, Packard Publishing Ltd)

Larkbush DykeDykes, dikes, ditches... there are numerous names for these narrow dug-out waterways. They were originally created to provide drainage or transport routes, and in some cases were used as boundaries. They are now one of our richest habitats, offering shelter and food for many types of wildlife.

A favourite for otters and water voles, dykes have matured, often over centuries, to become homes to plants such as fennel-leaved pondweed, water soldier, water violet, arrowhead and cowbane. The plants that live on the margins of fresh water offer the perfect conditions for insects and small birds and mammals.

Right: Water vole (Arvicola amphibius)

Cowbane, a nationally scarce plant, is also one of our most poisonous. Like cow parsley this plant is part of the carrot family. In ancient Greece, the philosopher Socrates was poisoned by drinking a potent concoction made with its close relative, hemlock. In fact the very name ‘bane’ comes from the Anglo- Saxon word ‘baba’ meaning ‘murderer’!
