About Titchwell Marsh

Male marsh harrier over reedbed

Titchwell Marsh is one of the RSPB’s most visited reserves. It has something for everyone, from beginners to seasoned birdwatchers on the lookout for a rarity. A walk from the visitor centre down to the sandy beach takes you past reedbeds and shallow lagoons, often so full of birds that you may not reach the beach for quite some time. 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. Don’t forget to visit as well in autumn and winter, when the reserve is less busy and you can see up to 20 species of waders and large numbers of ducks and geese.

A well-stocked shop has a wide range of RSPB gifts and books and one of the largest selections of telescopes and binoculars in East Anglia.

Information for families

Pond dipping is available for children during the summer holidays. Booking is essential.

Information for dog owners

Dogs are only permitted on the west bank path, which is a public right of way. They must be kept on a lead and under close control.
