Strumpshaw Fen RSPB reserve

The 250-hectare reserve contains reedbeds, marshes, and woodland areas, creating multiple environments for diverse wildlife species throughout the seasons.

The land transformed from a peat extraction site in the 1970s when the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds purchased it to establish a protected habitat.

The reserve serves as an educational center where visitors learn about conservation through guided tours, workshops, and seasonal wildlife observation programs.

Multiple viewing hides and marked trails allow visitors to explore different sections of the reserve while maintaining a safe distance from the wildlife.

The reserve hosts the swallowtail butterfly population, which breeds on milk parsley plants and appears exclusively in Norfolk and Suffolk fens.
