Marsham Heath

Image of Marsham Heath birding site

This heath is roughly midway between the A140 and the B1149. Marsham is about a mile south of the Aylsham roundabout and you need the Cawston turn, High Street. The parking shown on older map no longer exist but there is limited parking in pull offs along the road. From the B1149 take Buxton Road taking the left fork after about a mile and park were possible after the junction. Another SSSI, like its neighbour, Buxton Heath, is noted for Nightjar but has an extensive network of paths which should take several hours to fully explore.
