One of Britain's best-loved holiday areas, the Norfolk Broads, is currently under threat by dint of its very popularity. In this book the authors provide a wilderness tour of the Broads, the Cambridgeshire Fens and the coastal marshes. They discuss the region's past, present and future, and consider the world we are in danger of losing through pollution, drainage and changing land use. The text is enhanced by the use of many photographs throughout the book.
