A large proportion of the District lies within the nationally designated landscape of the Norfolk Coast National Landscape and the North Norfolk Heritage Coast, while the eastern part of the District forms part of the Broads National Park. The District also hosts a variety of internationally and nationally designated sites and nature reserves, home to many rare and protected species and habitats.
