Lodmoor

Lodmoor encompasses 71.5 hectares of reed beds, salt marshes, wet grasslands, and open water areas separated from Weymouth Bay by Greenhill Beach.

The construction of a protective sea wall during the twentieth century modified the natural tidal patterns, leaving only freshwater flooding during winter months.

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds manages this nature reserve, conducting research and monitoring of native and migratory bird populations.

Three separate trails provide access to the reserve, which includes a visitor center, outdoor gym, playgrounds, and designated areas for wildlife observation.

The wetland supports breeding populations of specific bird species such as bearded tit, Cetti's warbler, marsh warbler, and northern lapwing throughout the year.
