Welcome to Walpole Marsh

Walpole Marsh is a beautiful and serene nature reserve located in the county of Norfolk, England. The reserve is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including rare species of birds, insects, and plants. The marsh is situated on the banks of the River Great Ouse and is surrounded by lush greenery, making it a perfect spot for nature lovers and bird watchers.

The reserve is managed by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and is open to the public all year round. Visitors can explore the marsh on foot, following the well-marked trails that wind through the reserve. The trails offer stunning views of the marsh and the river, and visitors can spot a variety of birds, including the marsh harrier, bittern, and bearded tit. The reserve also has several bird hides, which provide a perfect vantage point for bird watching.

Walpole Marsh is not only a haven for wildlife but also a place of historical significance. The reserve is home to the remains of a medieval village, which was abandoned in the 14th century. Visitors can explore the ruins of the village, which include the remains of a church, a manor house, and several other buildings. The village is a fascinating glimpse into the past and provides a unique insight into the lives of the people who once lived there.
