Winterton Ness

Winterton Ness is an area of foreland on the North Norfolk coast of England.

Winterton Ness is located to the north of the village of Winterton-on-Sea between gbmapping|TG489216 in the north to gbmappingsmall|TG506181 to its south. [ [http://www.jncc.gov.uk/pdf/gcrdb/GCRsiteaccount2104.pdf JNCC website] ] . Technically it is a narrow cuspate foreland with a high obtuse angle between its two shorelines. A number of studies appear inconclusive as to the nature if erosion or, conversly, accretion of sediment in the area.

The area was described by Daniel Defoe [ [http://www.bbc.co.uk/greatbritishjourneys/journey/daniel-defoe/winterton-ness.shtml BBC "Great British Journeys" article] ] during the first of his trips for his account "A tour thro' the Whole Island of Great Britain".
