About Titchwell Marsh

Male marsh harrier over reedbed

This popular reserve on the north Norfolk coast has something for everyone. A walk from the visitor centre down to the sandy beach takes you past reedbeds and shallow lagoons, which are often full of birds. You can sit on benches or watch from spacious, wheelchair-accessible hides.

In summer, marsh harriers float over the reeds, where bearded tits nest. On the lagoons are avocets, gulls and terns. In autumn and winter you can see up to 20 species of wading birds and lots of ducks and geese.

A well-stocked shop has a wide range of RSPB gifts and books and a large selection of telescopes and binoculars. There is a servery selling hot and cold meals and snacks with a fully covered and heated eating area.

Opening times

The reserve is always open. The shop, servery, feeding station and visitor centre are open 9.30am to 4pm daily, but closed on Christmas day and Boxing day. (Outside of this season the centre is open from 9.30 am-5 pm)

Entrance charges

There is an facility charge of £4 per car for non members.

Information for families
