Heigham Sound is a clear lake that's popular with sailors and boaters. It's home to an abundance of rare birds and insects at all times of year, too. At this spot, between meadows and Heigham Sound, with boats floating on the water and the sound of birdsong flowing through the air, you can experience a slice of Norfolk’s rural idyll.

In the winter months this area can become quite water logged. Remember to close any gates behind you to ensure the Konik Ponies don't escape when they are in the reserve.
