Get outdoors and enjoy a lovely walk, fresh air and stunning views!

The reserve is a great place to visit all year round – bring your family, your camera, binoculars or telescope, or just yourself and get ready to explore the reserve and get close to wildlife. You can stop off in our cafe for lunch and a cuppa, and stock up on your nature friendly products, optics and gifts in the shop.

Exploring the reserve throughout the year is easy via a network of good paths and boardwalks. Don’t worry if you have not been here before – come into our RSPB Purfleet Visitor Centre and we can give you a map, show you where to go, and tell you about the recent sightings.
Why not visit our adventure play area, enjoy a nice cuppa and homemade cake in our cafe, or join one of our fabulous family activities or events.



And of course there’s the wildlife – lots of wildlife! Butterflies, dragonflies, bees, birds, very cute water voles, marsh frogs and lots more!
