Norfolk Wildlife Trust says it will create a "mosaic of habitats" in the new area of Foxley Wood.

A conservation charity has acquired 100 acres of ancient woodland to expand an existing nature reserve.

The Norfolk Wildlife Trust said that the new land would increase the size of its reserve at Foxley Wood, in North Norfolk, by more than a third.

Parts of the woodland are known to have been there for 6,000 years, and it has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to its value for wildlife.
