This graticule covers the parts of the United Kingdom (UK) from 52° to 53° latitude, and from 1° to 2° longitude. A bit over half of it is land, including parts of Norfolk and Suffolk and much of their coastlines. Most of the terrain is agricultural. Some areas are very flat. Other areas include low rolling hills. This easy terrain is balanced by coastal mud flats and salt marshes which can be tricky to reach. The Norfolk and Suffolk Broads are man-made lakes created by peat digging. They are reached by river or canal.

Local Geohashers

  • MagicIan is based just east of Norwich and will consider any inland hash if he's around.
  • Sourcerer lives in Beccles. When the hash is in the sea, he might visit the Cambridge graticule or others is he's in the area.
