A year ago the Holkham with the Norfolk Rivers Trust & Charles Rangeley Wilson embarked on a project to reconnect an ancient chalk stream back to the floodplain This is the result, amazing what you can achieve when you work collectively allow nature some space

I took him to the Rudston Monolith and then we went to the famous hunter-gatherer site of Star Carr where we meet a farmer who showed us her flint collection - here two Bronze Age barbed-and-tanged arrowheads and an Early Neolithic leaf-shaped arrowhead.

English Bluebell leaves have broken ground 🫠 Six days earlier than last season. We can’t say ‘last year’ given they are so early it’s still the same year
