Join me as I uncover the hidden features that make this one of the most underestimated regions in the United Kingdom. I explore Doggerland, ancient human footprints, mammoths, the lowest land in Britain, the engineered fens and the medieval origins of the Norfolk Broads. I also examine the Cromer chalk reef, coastal erosion, the 1953 North Sea flood and the forces still reshaping East Anglia today. From Norwich and Newmarket to The Wash, Snettersham and Bacton, this is a journey through landscapes that are submerged, buried, sinking or slowly moving. I am Edmund Ashby, and these are 20 remarkable geographic facts about East Anglia.
