Pevensey Levels, Nature reserve in Rother, England.
Pevensey Levels is a nature reserve in Rother featuring low-lying grazing meadows threaded with water-filled ditches and reedbeds spread across a large area. The landscape consists of open grassland punctuated by waterways that create distinct zones for different types of wildlife.
The area developed as a wetland landscape shaped by centuries of pastoral grazing and was officially protected in 1990. This designation preserved the existing character of the grazing lands while establishing it as a protected habitat.
This conservation area maintains traditional pastoral agriculture practices while supporting scientific research on endangered species and aquatic ecosystems.
The reserve offers walking paths and viewing spots where visitors can observe birds and explore the wetland habitats. It helps to plan which sections you want to visit, as the landscape spans across a wide area with different entry points.
The reserve shelters one of England's most significant populations of a rare snail species found in few other wetlands. These mollusks serve as an indicator of the health of the water systems throughout the area.
