    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.

      Great place to stop to watch the Swallows and House Martin's that are nesting underneath
        Nice place to watch birds. Essential to manage the waterlevels at Minsmere.
