Scolt Head Island National Nature Reserve
Barrier island, dunes, and protected coastal landscapes on the Norfolk coast
Scolt Head Island National Nature Reserve sits off the north Norfolk coast, where dunes, saltmarsh, shingle, and tidal channels form one of the county's most important coastal environments. Separated from the mainland by a stretch of saltmarsh and tidal creeks, the reserve protects a dynamic landscape shaped by tides, weather, and wildlife.
Located opposite Burnham Overy Staithe and connected to the wider landscapes of the Norfolk Coast National Landscape, Scolt Head Island forms part of a network of coastal routes, landscapes, and places along the Norfolk Coast Path. Today, the reserve remains one of the most significant natural areas on the Norfolk coast, supporting wildlife while helping define the character of this section of shoreline.
