From Wikishire
Brancaster Manor is a saltmarsh owned by the National Trust near Brancaster in Norfolk, covering 2,000 acres. It was originally purchased by the Brancaster Memorial Trust in 1964, and transferred to the National Trust in 1967. It is leased to Brancaster Staithe Fishermen's Society.[1]
The site was designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1968, and in 1986 it was subsumed into the 19,030 acre North Norfolk Coast Site of Special Scientific Interest. The larger area is now additionally protected through Natura 2000, Special Protection Area (SPA) and Ramsar listings, and is part of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
