Reviews

Such a lovely and peaceful place. If you love the countryside and walking, this is ideal. Plenty of bird life to see and hear. An excellent place to clear your head, gather your thoughts and go home feeling refreshed.

Visited on a misty Spring afternoon for a leisurely stroll up to the River Waveney.  Saw a decent amount of wildlife but didn't hang about for the visiting American bittern.  Will be returning to see the changes each season brings.

Love this place, even though it can be muddy when wet! Feels like you're in the middle of nowhere (suppose it is really!) and it's great to get away from it all with only the sound of birds and rustling reeds. Volunteers and wardens obviously work really hard to look after it - thanks go out to them.

A great place for a walk, and even better if you spot some of the wildlife that's there. You may be lucky to see owls and birds of prey such as the marsh harrier. There are reedbeds and marshes and it's easy to walk round due to all weather paths, although sometimes these can still be muddy.

My favourite place to go to in Lowestoft, each dusk you are almost guaranteed to see the resident barn owls and during the day you may see the kestels or watervoles, perhaps the Chinese water deer or muntjaks 😊 beautiful nature reserve
