Redwell Marsh

This old grazing marsh, purchased in 1985, extends to 35 acres (14ha). It is currently at the centre of a major habitat development programme. Freshwater wader scrapes have been created specifically to provide habitat for wildfowl during the winter and passage and breeding waders from spring through to autumn. An area of willow scrub, known as The Piggeries, is being developed as a ringing area.
Purpose built viewing facilities, which include accomodation for wheelchair users, have been erected and were opened in April 2001. Members and visiting permit holders may use this excellent new hide which is already providing excellent views across this very promising reserve. The number of species recorded is increasing almost daily!
Directions: Siutated on north side of Holme-next-the-Sea village off the Observatory approach road (Broadwater Road) - follow signs for 'NOA Migration Watchpoint'. Car parking is available for disabled visitors in the paddock adjacent to the hide from late spring to mid-autumn. Grid Ref:TF701437
