About RSPB Minsmere

Coastal nature reserve with woods and wetland, 7 bird spotting hides, nature trails, shop and café.

Discover some of the UK's rarest wildlife and enjoy family-friendly activities at Minsmere. Choose an idyllic walk or head to the coastal lagoons to see an impressive variety of birds, including avocets, bearded tits and bitterns. If you're lucky, you might see an otter around the reedbed pools. We have a visitor centre, café, toilets, parking, nature trails and viewing areas, education facilities and a busy guided walks and events programme. Dogs are welcome in the visitor centre but are not allowed on the nature trails. Please ask reception for details of where you can walk your dog.
