Whitlingham in South Norfolk, Norfolk, England sits just south‑east of Norwich beside the River Yare and is dominated by former gravel workings that flooded to form broad, open lakes and reedbeds. Much of the area is now known as Whitlingham Country Park, a mix of water, woodland and grassland popular for walking, cycling and wildlife watching.
The site blends conservation and recreation: parts such as Whitlingham Broad are managed for wildlife while other areas host an outdoor activity centre and sailing clubs, so it’s both an important local nature haven and a busy community amenity with a recent history shaped by gravel extraction rather than centuries of industry.
