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 />
