	GENUKI: Norfolk: Genealogy: Description and Travel: Breckland
		Breckland is an area in the south west of Norfolk, extending into Suffolk, which contains much forest and heath land.
		Breckland has probably the lowest rainfall of anywhere in Britain, and certainly is the nearest thing to a desert we have.
		The central part of the region, in the triangle between the roads from Thetford to Mundford and Norwich, and a little north of the road from Bodney to Watton has since 1942 been a military training area, and is still mainly heath as it has been for several centuries.

		Breckland is historically centred on the ancient town of Thetford and takes its name from the open areas of heathland in the southern part of the district.

		Breckland is a gently undulating plateau underlain by bedrock of Cretaceous Chalk, covered by thin deposits of sand and flint.
		The open Breckland landscape is internationally important for its remaining heathland and acid/calcareous mosaics of grass-heath which support populations of invertebrates and ground-nesting birds such as the stone curlew.
		Breckland's flora and fauna is significant for many declining species reliant of open ground on grass heaths, arable margins and disturbed ground.

		The astonishing landscape of Breckland consists of an unusual mix of sand, chalk, flint and water, and it is one of the driest parts of the UK.
		Thetford Forest, to the south of the Breckland area, is a patchwork of pines, heathland and broadleaved trees that provides a home to a rich variety of animal and plant life.
		The Breckland heaths, now so valued for wildlife conservation, were actually one of the first great ecological disasters wrought by man. Originally covered in birch, oak and hazel woodland, the Brecks was cleared by prehistoric settlers to supply wood and to make way for grazing land.

	Breckland
		The Breckland of Norfolk and Suffolk lies in the heart of East Anglia on largely sandy soils of glacial origin.
		Much of Breckland was planted with conifers through the 20th century, and elsewhere arable farming is the predominant land use.
		The remnants of dry heath and grassland that have survived these changes support heathland-breeding birds, where grazing by sheep and rabbits is sufficiently intensive to create short turf and open ground.

	Breckland Carabids
		This species is widespread across Britain and Ireland, occurring on dry heaths and moors where it is active from early spring.
		This latter species was identified from remains found in a Stone Curlew pellet collected near Icklingham in 1980 (Hammond 1982), although a record from Barton Mills made in 1966 has since come to light.
		Several of the carabid species found within Breckland have a national distribution that is predominantly coastal in nature (Luff 1998): Broscus cephalotes, Calathus ambiguus, Harpalus anxius, Harpalus attenuatus and Harpalus servus.
