Steart Marshes lies at the mouth of the River Parrett and is a working wetland preserve. Home to a vast population of wildfowl and being an important part of the local flood defences, it’s a wonderful place to walk around.

Managed by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, there are salt and freshwater marshes here covering hundreds of hectares. Otters, egrets and wildfowl all call this their home and you’ll find plenty of hides dotted about to spy on them.
