Snettisham

About

Snettisham ward encompasses the coastal village of Snettisham and its surrounding rural parish on the Norfolk coast. The area is defined by a mix of agricultural land, residential streets, and a significant shoreline fronting The Wash. Key features include the parish church of St. Mary's and the local beach, which is known for its expansive mudflats and shingle.

A large RSPB nature reserve here is a major habitat for wading birds and wildfowl, particularly noted for spectacular flocks of knot and other species. The local economy has connections to farming, tourism linked to the coastal environment, and some commuting to larger settlements. The landscape is generally low-lying, with the Peddars Way long-distance path running nearby.
