Norfolk Horn Sheep, Pensthorpe Nature Reserve, Norfolk

The Norfolk Horn is one of the oldest breeds of sheep in Britain. It is believed to be descended from the ancient Saxon black faced sheep once prevalent in Northern Europe. Although named after the county of Norfolk the breed developed in the relative isolation of East Anglia and was the prevalent breed in Norfolk, Suffolk, north Essex and south east Cambridgeshire.
