roads, <strong>the</strong> route takes you beside a series of<br />
County Wildlife Sites in Stow Bedon. There are<br />
approximately 1,300 County Wildlife Sites in<br />
<strong>Norfolk</strong> supporting a wide range of <strong>biodiversity</strong>.<br />
Behind <strong>the</strong> trees to <strong>the</strong> south of Mere Road is<br />
Stow Bedon Mere, a large shallow lake with a deep<br />
silty bottom. The lake is surrounded by a mixture<br />
of wet woodl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> fen species. The nationally<br />
scarce marsh fern grows both here <strong>and</strong> on Caston<br />
Common, ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />
excellent wildlife-rich<br />
area comprising a mix of<br />
grassl<strong>and</strong>, broad-leaved<br />
high forest <strong>and</strong> coppice<br />
along with a lake <strong>and</strong><br />
several ponds. Please<br />
