This 120-acre reserve features a variety of habitats including woodland, grassland, and wetland, providing a haven for local wildlife such as birds, butterflies, and insects. The reserve has several walking trails, including the Medmerry Trail, which offers scenic views of the surrounding countryside. Visitors can also explore the reserve's ponds, streams, and wetlands, which are home to a range of aquatic life. The reserve is particularly notable for its wildflower displays, which bloom in the spring and summer months, attracting a variety of pollinators and adding color to the landscape.
Superb area of RSPB created wetland for sustaining a wide range of wildfowl and nature. Great for walking and bird watching. Ensure you have sensible clothing and footwear. Limited RSPB car parking around the outskirts of the reserve.
Lovely place, need to explore more, was staying adjacent to reserve on holiday.
Never a dull moment at Medmerry. Just a beautiful area with the RSPB reserve next door. A beautiful place to take in the fresh salty sea air.
Beautiful nature reserve. Great place to walk where the flood defences have been opened to allow the sea to reclaim some of its original wetland to stop local flooding and to make a lovely bird sanctuary.
What a great place to walk, ride a bike around designated bridleways,public footpaths , loads to see,lots of nature to see different times of the year. RSPB centre to stop in , cup of tea or coffee with a snack. Lots of info and guides to pick up showing different routes and sites.
Excellent for migrant birds and a pleasant walk. Plenty of waders, especially Dunlins, Ringed Plovers, Redshanks and Oystercatchers. Always the chance of a rarity as well!
