I noticed a possible error on this page.

I copy the final sentence and will explain

The reserve was created in 1967 mostly from the Holkham estate, owned since the 17th century by the Earls of Leicester, and attracts over 100,000 visitors a year, including birdwatchers, horse riders and naturists. (Full article...)

Surely these visitors should be birdwatchers, horseriders and naturalists. Naturists are nudists.89.241.17.99 (talk) 16:39, 14 January 2015 (UTC)clarepusskeeper[reply]

Thanks for asking. I think that's what Jim (the writer) meant, but I'll ask him to come have a look. - Dank (push to talk) 17:02, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"Naturist" is exactly what I meant, see this section. On other popular nudist beaches, dunes tend to be used because they are more sheltered, but at Holkham the fragility of the habitat means that use of the open beach is preferred. It's quite a long walk to this area, and the Norfolk climate isn't particularly conducive to stripping off, so I think that those unexpectedly finding this area are likely to be serious walkers or naturalists [sic] rather than families Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:54, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
