Like many Norfolk birders, I frequently make a brief stop in the 'unofficial layby' on the A149 at Holkham: from here you can often see flocks of wild geese in the Winter and all three Egrets in the Summer.
After thirty years of doing this, I only just realised that the complex of ditches and mounds by Decoy Wood mark the site of an important Iron Age fort: built by the Iceni, no less! It may well be the location of their final defeat by the Romans in AD 47.
The Fort / Camp can be best seen from the Joe Jordan hide (when it's open!)
