Farlington Marshes, Nature reserve in Portsmouth, Great Britain

Farlington Marshes spans 125 hectares of grazing marsh and saline lagoon on the northern shore of Langstone Harbour between Portsmouth and Havant.

The land was reclaimed from Langstone Harbour in 1771 and included a portion of the former Binner's Island, later serving as a military decoy site during World War II.

The reserve remains one of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust's earliest protected areas, managed with Portsmouth City Council for conservation and education.

Visitors can take a 4-kilometer circular walk along the sea wall, with three parking areas subject to height restrictions of 6 feet 3 inches.

The marshes welcome hundreds of dark-bellied brent geese, wigeons, teals, avocets, redshanks, and dunlins during winter migration periods.
