Castle Marshes is a large Broadland nature reserve and home to a huge variety of plant, bird and insect life. Summer brings butterflies and dragonflies, including rare types such as the Norfolk hawker dragonfly. Summer’s birds include several types of warbler as well as lapwings and redshanks. Overhead, birds of prey hover in search of snacks in the tall grasses.

Winter transforms these marshes, cared for by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust. While the Angles Way footpath stays high enough to walk along, the marshes themselves are flooded to create an enormous expanse of water for the overwintering wildfowl. Teal, widgeon and gadwall are some of the winter faces you can see here.
