The shingle beach at Salthouse and that at adjacent Cley-next-the-Sea were for many years bulldozed in winter to form a bank as a buffer to keep the North Sea out of freshwater marshes which are an important wildlife habitat, particularly for birds. But the bank needed constant rebuilding and a few years ago it was decided that the process was unsustainable and so the beach has been allowed to revert to a natural profile and part of the freshwater marsh will gradually turn into salt marsh, though new drainage arrangements will broadly separate the two.
