Bacton

About

Bacton ward is located in North Norfolk, covering the village of Bacton and surrounding areas. The ward is known for its coastal position, with Bacton Beach offering views of the North Sea. The area includes a mix of residential properties, farmland, and the Bacton Gas Terminal, which plays a key role in the UK's energy infrastructure. The village itself has a small community with local amenities, including a church and a primary school.

The ward's landscape is shaped by its coastal location, with sandy dunes and marshes nearby. The Bacton to Walcott Coastal Management Scheme has been implemented to protect the area from erosion. Agriculture remains an important part of the local economy, alongside the gas terminal. The ward is connected to nearby towns like North Walsham and Mundesley by road, providing access to broader services and transport links.
