Gate and gorse Wiveton Downs Norfolk in Spring

---

Thousands of years ago, when much of Norfolk was covered in ice, a river of meltwater was flowing beneath the glacier, carrying large amounts of sand and gravel. As the water slowed, it laid down this sediment. When the glacier retreated, the sand and gravel ridge remained. Vegetation now covers the esker, and quarrying has changed the look of it.
