Viewing points
The viewing platform on the edge of the dunes is an excellent spot from which to watch an array of waders on the beach and fishing terns, migrating skuas and wintering sea ducks, divers and grebes at sea.
Island Hide gives views over the bird-filled freshwater marsh and along the edge of the freshwater reedbed where you can watch bearded tits and water rails feeding.
We now have a new Parrinder Hide as part of this project.
Fen hide overlooks the freshwater reedbed and is the perfect spot from which to see bitterns, bearded tits and marsh harriers.
Nature trails
There are three trails on the reserve and all are accessible to wheelchairs/pushchairs. The main path is approximately 1 kilometre long and runs from the visitor centre to the beach. The fen and meadow trails include 120 metres of path and 140 metres of boardwalk but are not accessible to dog walkers.
