RSPB Matford Marsh
Recommended by
Overview
Matford Marshes is a small, relatively new site halfway between Exeter and Exminster - just 3miles (6km) from the city centre, it's one of the RSPB’s Exe Estuary reserves. This little reserve helps protect Exeter from flooding by holding excess water several times a year after heavy rain or snow. The changes in water levels mean it's good for birds - wading birds drop in to feed on the muddy edges.
About the area
Devon sums up all that is best about the British landscape, with its magnificent coastlines, two historic cities, the world-famous Dartmoor National Park and south Devon’s glorious English Riviera. A fashionable and much-loved holiday destination, hiking and cycling in the National Parks is extremely popular among visitors, with a great choice of off-road routes.
