County Wildlife Site<br />

(Ref No: 402)<br />

Site Name: Adj. River Nar Parish: King's Lynn<br />

Grid Reference: TF 621177 Area: 0.8 ha<br />

Site Description:*<br />

This is part of a disused railway line situated close to the River Nar.<br />

To either end of the site is neutral unimproved grassland with impeded drainage. These areas are<br />

ungrazed and consequently the sward is rather rank. Grasses dominate but other species include<br />

chervil (Chaerophylum temulentum), meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria), hogweed (Heracleum<br />

sphondylium), yarrow (Achillea millefolium), black knapweed (Centaurea nigra), ribwort plantain<br />

(Plantago lanceolata) and reed canary-grass (Phalaris arundinacea).<br />

The centre of the site consists of a small area of fen vegetation which is dominated by reed<br />

(Phragmites australis) and surrounded by dense hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) scrub.<br />

Based on the 1985 habitat survey (NWT)<br />

Survey date: 1985
