Looking north along the Norfolk coast from Walcott to Bacton and Mundesley
Bacton gas terminal is in danger of falling into the sea. The land it stands on is being eroded very rapidly and unless something is done to protect it, the gas terminal and the villages beside it will be lost.
The terminal was opened in 1969 and is one of eight distributing natural gas across the UK. It supplies about one third of the UK’s natural gas, which comes from offshore gas fields under the North Sea. The gas from Bacton can also be sent to, or received from, terminals in Belgium and The Netherlands.
