Minsmere is home to some of the UK's rarest wildlife.

Head to the coastal lagoons to see an impressive variety of birds, including avocets, bearded tits and bitterns. Walk to the reedbeds, where Marsh Harrier, Otters and Water Voles can be found. Or the heathlands, where Nightjars churr, Adders slither and Silver-studded Blue Butterflies flutter.

Don't be surprised to see ponies grazing either! They play a vital role improving the habitat for some of the rarest plants and minibeasts, such as the brilliantly named Great Green Bush-cricket. As well as the miles of beautiful walks across varied terrains, the wonderful bird hides and unbeatable bird watching opportunities, Minsmere also offers a fascinating day out for our younger visitors with the Wild Zone Play area, trails all through the reserve, den buidling and organised activities such as pond dipping. Not to mention the Visitor Centre, Shop and Cafe.
