Kelling Heath : ウィキペディア英語版 | Kelling Heath
Kelling Heath is an area of heathland on the coast of North Norfolk, England, between Holt and Weybourne. It has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and is described by Natural England as 'a fine example of oceanic heathland'.〔http://www.english-nature.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1002812.pdf〕 The SSSI covers some 90 hectares. ==Geology== Kelling Heath lies on the Cromer Ridge, a glacial moraine formed by retreating glaciers at the end of the last Ice age.〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/norfolk/content/articles/2005/06/21/coast05_iceage_feature.shtml〕 Together with nearby Salthouse Heath, it is one of two distinct outwash plains dating from different halt stages of the same glaciation. Kelling Heath provides perhaps the best example of a glacial outwash plain in England. Both sites have steep ice-contact slopes and are dissected by deep dry valleys, and are geomorphological sites of national importance.
