Wild Rye: Discover Our Wetland Wildlife

Bittern in Winter

Castle Farm

Castle Farm

This is large expanse of grazing marsh divided by drainage ditches. This area was originally saltmarsh, but building simple banks claimed the area for farming. Now much of the wetland interest is concentrated in the ditches which provide a home for a population of Water Voles. Some areas, such as where Camber Castle is sited, are old shingle ridges that date back about 500 years.

All of this area is grazed, mostly by sheep, so please keep to the footpaths and keep dogs on a lead. Thank-you.
