Damgate Marshes, Acle is a 64.7-hectare (160-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest between Norwich and Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, England.[1][2] It is part of the Broadland Ramsar site[3] and The Broads Special Area of Conservation.[4]
These traditionally managed grazing marshes and dykes are a nationally important wetland site. Their ecological significance lies mainly in the dykes, which have several uncommon water plants and a great diversity of aquatic invertebrates.[5]
The Weavers' Way footpath goes through the site.
