RSPB Dingle Marshes
Recommended by
Overview
Dingle Marshes is a superb mixture of coastal and freshwater habitats bordered by forest and heathland. The freshwater reedbeds are home to important numbers of breeding bitterns, marsh harriers and bearded tits, and in summer are alive with singing warblers. These are protected from the sea by a vegetated shingle bank, which is important for plants such as sea kale and yellow horned-poppy. Little terns often nest along this bank.
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.
