RSPB Boyton Marshes

Overview

Boyton and Hollesley Marshes are two coastal reserves in the lower reaches of the Alde-Ore Estuary. Both are coastal grazing marshes with shallow pools and flood during the winter. They are important for a variety of breeding wading birds and wintering ducks and geese, as well as many grassland insects and flowers. It's also great for watching birds of prey, owls, butterflies and dragonflies.

About the area

Suffolk is Constable country, where the county’s crumbling, time-ravaged coastline spreads itself under wide skies to convey a wonderful sense of remoteness and solitude. Highly evocative and atmospheric, this is where rivers wind lazily to the sea and notorious 18th-century smugglers hid from the excise men.
