The stunning Leighton Moss Reservoir was created in 1964 to provide saltmarsh habitats for rare and beautiful wildlife. You will find bitterns, red deer and Greylag geese hiding amongst the reed beds.
Run by the RSPB, the reserve has a visitor centre with a shop and tea room as well as observation hides around the site. The reserve is open from 9am until dusk daily and entrance is free.
