Marston Marshes Walk

1.7 miles (2.8 km)

Ordnance Survey Map Open Streetmap This pretty nature reserve is located on the River Yare near Cringleford and Norwich.
The reserve includes pleasant riverside trails, 5 ponds, damp woodland and floodplain grazing marsh with cattle. It's great for wildlife watching with species such as water voles, otters, snipe and geese to look out for.
There's a car park at the eastern end of the site where you can pick up a waymarked circular nature trail running for just under 2 miles.
The Yare Valley Walk starts/finishes at the reserve. You could pick up this 6 mile trail and follow it north to the man made broad in the pleasant grounds of the University of East Anglia.
