Ducan's Marsh is a 3.6-hectare (8.9-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north-east of Loddon in Norfolk, England.[1] [2] It is part of the Broadland Ramsar site [3] and Special Protection Area,[4] and The Broads Special Area of Conservation.[5]

This unimproved area of wet grassland is in the valley of Carleton Beck, a small tributary of the River Yare. There are species-rich fen and fen grassland communities in areas around springs on the side of the valley. The grassland is maintained by light summer grazing and it has a number of uncommon plants.[6]

The site is private land with no public access.
