Breckland
Arranged and narrated by John Seymour
Edited by John Ecclestone in the BBC's East Anglian studios
The samdy and originally barren Breckland lies like an island between the corn lands of Suffolk and the rich fen farms. Its heaths, which contain species of plants and animals found nowhere else in the British Isles, have a gaunt charm all of their own. Country where Neolithic men worked in flint mines, and where Saxons and Danes once fought, is today being transformed into the largest modern forest in the South of England, a centre of land reclamation and a home for London's overspill.
