About

Our meadow trail will be closed for habitat management work on the 7,8 and 9 of July.

You'll find Strumpshaw Fen on the River Yare in Norfolk, around six miles east of Norwich. The reserve itself has a fantastic range of Broadland habitats and wildlife to discover.

Enjoy a walk round the reedbeds, woodlands and orchid-rich meadows before an al fresco cuppa from the visitor centre. Little ones will love our den building area along our adventure trail. If the weather's kind, why not stop for a picnic too?

Song of the Reeds
We are delighted that the landscape and wildlife of the reserve was used for the set of the gripping new Radio 4 drama, Song of the Reeds. Find out more about the reserve's role in the drama here.

This is a great location to spot Kingfishers
The vibrant azure and copper feathers of the Kingfisher make them one of the UK’s most colourful and instantly recognisable birds. But blink and you’ll miss them – they dart along rivers and streams at high speeds. RSPB nature reserves and our care-taking teams provide safe wetland havens for these special birds and their fishy prey.
