The
Beccles Marsh Trail may be commenced from the large 'Beccles
by-pass bridge'. Walking under the bridge towards Aldeby on
the Suffolk bank will soon fill you with a sense of relaxation
and wondar.
We decided to take this venture on a sunny spring morning before
breakfast. The variety of wild birds singing to their hearts
content, and the sheer calm of the River waters were a joy.
You will pass the sailing club headquarters, and soon find that
the trail has a number of alternative routes, it is up to you
which to take.
Young Rabbits dancing in a meadow, small calves and sheep watched
as we passed by, a Heron drifted overhead. The trail took about
1 hour, but depends on the path you take.
This
grazing 'Marsh and Fen' is accessed by the Waveney Way footpath,
it has a number of small creatures of interest. The Marsh is
warden controlled, and parties of 10 or more should book in
advance. Tel; 01502 564250.
| Cove
Hithe Church / Cliffs & Benacre Broad |
On
coastal side of Wrentham, Cove Hithe is a small hamlet almost
at the cliff edge. Parking near to the old church the first
thing that will captivate your imagination will be the ruins
of the old church, and the much smaller church built inside
this formation. Walking towards the Sea it will soon become
apparent that this is an area that has seen massive 'coastal
erosion' from the power of the sea. TAKE CARE AS THE CLIFF FALLS
REGULARLY. As you face the sea, Benacre Broad is a short walk
to you left, with a wealth of both freshwater birds and sea
birds to be found, sitting for a time in the hide provided,
you may witness some of the reserves wildlife.
