Buckenham Marshes RSPB reserve

Buckenham Marshes extends across 1,000 acres of wetlands, grasslands, and reedbeds along the northern bank of the River Yare, supporting multiple ecosystems.

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds established this protected area to maintain traditional grazing practices and preserve natural water management systems.

Local communities participate in educational programs throughout the year to learn about wetland conservation and native bird species protection methods.

Visitors can access the reserve through Buckenham railway station, with designated paths and observation points providing clear views of wildlife without causing disturbance.

The reserve hosts Britain's largest rookery, accommodating up to 80,000 rooks, and remains the only location in England where bean geese regularly spend winter months.
