The flat fenland in the far west of the county is, however, a distinct region, shared with other counties and being drained by a complicated system of rivers, dykes and sluices. A similar landscape can be seen in the east of the county where the rivers Bure and Yare, but the rest of the county offers scenery aptly described by Ronald Blythe as carrying undulation to the most subtle limits. The north Norfolk coast is an area of outstanding natural beauty, providing outstanding walking along cliffs and beaches, with excellent opportunities for observing the abundant coastal wildlife. To the east, the Norfolk Broads is a unique area of lakes along rivers meandering towards the sea. They not only provide recreation but also have a special flora and fauna. Norfolk's legacy of medieval country churches centre on the numerous villages, many of which are of special historic interest. Several country estates also allow access to their extensive parkland, providing another type of walking. Thetford Forest, which covers much of the south-west of the county, also provides a deal of excellent walking unlike that in the rest of the county.« less
