Wildlife Walk Information:

Join us for a short light stroll, following the Saltmarsh Coast Trail west along the Yacht Harbour and back to celebrate local wildlife. The walk will take approximately 1 hour, and we will walk over a flat surface with frequent stops for birdwatching, using spotting scope.

Please bring suitable footwear, as the paths can get muddy and slippery after wet weather. It is a windy site too, so dress warmly. There are public toilets opposite the Crouch Harbour Office. Dogs are welcome to join in but MUST be kept on leads for the entire duration of the walk.
