About Adur Estuary

RSPB Adur Estuary reserve, Shoreham-by-sea, West Sussex

Image: Andy Hay

The small reserve is composed of saltmarsh and mudflats that afford a good feeding and roosting site for waders and wildfowl. The reserve has no facilities as such, but it can be readily viewed from the surrounding footpaths and rewarding views can be had from Coronation Green, which is situated near the town centre of Shoreham-by-Sea.

Access to the reserve is restricted, thereby allowing birds to breed and roost in an undisturbed state and the fragile habitats to develop naturally. Visitors are advised to use the free public car park at Adur District Council's recreational field.

Open at all times.
