Assessor comments
"A delightful site for wildlife on the Sussex coast."
Overview
RSPB Pagham Harbour is an internationally important wetland site, with saltmarsh and mudflats, lagoons, reedbeds, farmland and shingle beach. There are trails around the reserve, past the Sidlesham tramway, along the pebbly beach, and out to Medmerry. A highlight in summer is the tern colony on Tern Island. From a seat at Church Norton you can watch the frenzied activity on the island. As well as terns there are black-headed gulls, Brent Geese and Wigeon. A fantastic site for lovers of wildlife.

About the area
Divided from East Sussex back in 1888, West Sussex has a variety of landscapes and coastal scenery, but it is the spacious and open South Downs with which the county is most closely associated. There are plenty of walking routes in the South Downs National Park, cycling routes by the sea or visitors can explore the pretty town of Arundel with its historic castle and buildings.
