Come for some gardening inspiration and stay for the wonderful array of wildlife that calls Flatford home.
Follow the footpath along the river and look on as many hundreds of wetland birds flock to the marshes to graze. Ready for a cuppa? Follow the path on to the pretty Flatford hamlet, famous for its landscape and historic paintings by John Constable.
Explore ancient woodland fringing a stunning estuary. From Hazel Dormice to ducks, Stour Estuary always has something special in store.
Follow the footpath down to the quiet lagoon and see if you can spot Lapwings, Wigeons and Avocets as they forage in the shallows.
Hop on a boat from Orford Quay and join us on the tiny island of Havergate. Rich in wildlife, discover Avocets, Barn Owls, Wheatears and much more. At the end of the day, it's just a short boat trip back to shore.
Once a stretch of farmland, this wetland reserve is now a rich mix of reedbeds, marshes and woodlands where Kingfishers and Otters thrive.
This small but beautiful reserve has a lot to give – rugged heathland, woodland, reedbeds hiding Bitterns and Bearded Tits, and a shingle beach with dramatic views out to sea.
With woodland, reedbeds, grassland, heathland and the wild coast to explore, you can easily spend a whole day at Minsmere. Enjoy family time pond dipping or den building in the woods. Visit the shop and enjoy delicious food on our café terrace immersed in the tranquillity of nature.
Dingle Marshes is a rich patchwork of habitats where Marsh Harriers sky dance and Bitterns boom.
