バックルシャムの湖・トップ4

Trimley Marshes is a picturesque and diverse habitat located on the coast of Suffolk. It is made up of wetland, reedbed, and grasslands, which provides refuge for a number of wonderful bird species including marsh harriers, avocets, and bearded tits. You'll also spot some seasonal cattle grazing the grasslands too.

The road is a dead end but the lakeside view is very nice. Worth it if you want somewhere scenic to stop although not always very tranquil in the summer with the watersports centre, neighbouring campsite and playground.
