Summer Wildlife Walks at Heigham Holmes

Join our ranger for a guided walk around Heigham Holmes

  • Booking essential

Join us on a special guided walk as we cross the swing bridge on to the ‘island’ of Heigham Holmes, a peaceful haven for wildlife which is only open to the public on a selected number of days each year. The reserve is home to wetland birds and an abundance of other wildlife. Its mix of reed fringed flood banks, open water, grazing marshes and wet woodland are all linked by a maze of dykes and pools, which are characteristic of The Broads landscape. Species found here include marsh harriers, common cranes, barn owls, avocets, deer (red, muntjac, and Chinese water deer), swallowtail butterflies, otters, and adders.
