Hesketh Out Marsh |
This new saltmarsh reserve is a great place to admire the gathered pink-footed geese, wigeons, teals and other wildfowl in winter, along with big flocks of golden plovers, lapwings and black-tailed godwits. In spring the marshes are alive with the sight and sound of displaying waders, including avocets and lapwings. But as recently as 2006, the land was used for growing crops. Opening timesFrom 8 am to 6 pm, or dusk if it's earlier. Entrance chargesFree, but we'd love it if you made a donation to help us continue our work here. |
