    Tips

    Hiking

    The Minsmere River flows through Suffolk and helps create the wetlands at Minsmere RSPB Reserve.

    Minsmere Sluice is tidal and allows the river to flow into the North Sea. The river has been rerouted to make way for agricultural fields so it comes to the sluice via a manmade drain.
