The wind
turbine towers over the Ecotech Centre |
You can
visit the UK's largest wind turbine at the Ecotech Centre in
Swaffham.
At 100 metres
tall from the tip of one of the three blades to the ground the
turbine dominates the skyline of
Mid-Norfolk.
It is around
the same height as Norwich Cathedral, 135 feet taller than Nelson’s
Column and can produce power for the centre and about half of
Swaffham's 6000 people.
There is
a viewing platform almost 70 metres up the tower which can be
reached by visitors who have to climb around 300 steps to take
in the views of the surrounding countryside.
You can
also look around the Environmental Discovery Centre, which gives
you a hands-on chance to look at the problems facing the Earth,
and discover what you can do to help.
