If you thought that there was no wilderness left in the south-east, come and have a look at Elmley Marshes! The two-mile drive across the vast wetlands, managed by the Elmley Conservation Trust, to get to the reserve car park is an amazing start to your visit, where from your car you can watch lapwings, redshanks, wigeon and birds of prey at close range.

Opening times

Open daily (closed Tuesdays) 9 am to 9 pm or sunset when earlier.

Entrance charges

There are no fixed entrance fees. However, suggested donations for non-members of £2.50 adults, 50p child, £1.50 concession, and £4.50 for a family, are gratefully received to help maintain the reserve.
