RSPB Brading Marshes
Overview
Brading Marshes is the RSPB's first reserve on the Isle of Wight. It covers most of the beautiful valley of the lower River Yar running from the village of Brading to the sea at Bembridge Harbour. From the reserve gateway at Brading station, you can pick up trail guides and reserve information, and then explore the extensive series of footpaths around the site, which provide attractive views and the chance to see a wide range of wildlife from buzzards, little egrets and green woodpeckers to summer butterflies, dragonflies and red squirrels.
About the area
Small and intimate – at just 23 miles by 13 miles, the Isle of Wight is a popular holiday destination; with its mild climate, long hours of sunshine and colourful architecture, it has something of a continental flavour. Visitors can walk along the island’s varied coastline using the well-established Coast Path or step back in time to explore the island’s history at some of the forts and castles.
