About Pulborough Brooks

Lapwing in display flight

Set in the heart of beautiful countryside, this reserve is a fantastic day out for people of all ages. Walks lead through hedge-lined paths to viewing areas and hides where volunteers are often on hand to help point out the wildlife.

If you're new to birdwatching, introductory walks and courses are held throughout the year. In winter, the flooded meadows teem with ducks, geese and swans. In spring, wading birds, such as lapwings and redshanks, breed amongst the pools and ditches, and nightingales and warblers sing from the hedgerows.

A heathland restoration project is already attracting woodlarks and nightjars, adding to the sheer variety this reserve has to offer.

With a children's play area, garden courtyard attracting tits, finches, woodpeckers and nuthatches, and a comprehensive events programme, you won't go short of something to do. There is a well-stocked shop and the tea room has a well-deserved local reputation for the excellent quality of its lunches and cakes!
