About This Event

The Birds and Beasts walk takes place at Orford Ness National Nature Reserve in Ipswich. The walk explores how nature has reclaimed the land and buildings of the former military site. Admission is required.

Find out how nature has reclaimed the land and buildings at Orford Ness, which was a hive of military of activity from the First World War right through to the Cold War.

On this guided walk, you'll join one of our rangers on a stroll around Orford Ness and find out how we look after the landscape, as well as more about the different species that have made it their home.

Please note: This is an outdoor walking event. The route will be decided on the day due to weather and seasonal interest and does not include wider access to Orford Ness.
