Strumpshaw Fen RSPB reserve

About this reserve

This is a land where Bitterns sneak through reedbeds, orchids bejewel meadows and in summer, the Cuckoo calls reverberate through woodlands. ? ? From the 27 – 30 April our normal visitor toilets will be shut. We will have alternative provision in the form of Portaloos, including a disabled Portaloo unit. This is due to works to excavate and replace our old sewer pipes. ROAD CLOSURE: From 15/04/26 - 20/05/26 road works have created a one-way system for traffic at Brundall. If visiting RSPB Strumpshaw via the A47 roundabout, you will need to follow Yarmouth Road into Blofield first. Yarmouth Road is closed on the way back out and you will need to exit via Cucumber Lane. You'll find Strumpshaw Fen on the River Yare in Norfolk, around six miles east of Norwich. The reserve itself has a fantastic range of Broadland habitats and wildlife to discover. Enjoy a walk round the reedbeds, woodlands and orchid-rich meadows before an al fresco cuppa from the visitor centre. Little ones will love our den building area along our adventure trail. If the weather's kind, why not stop for a picnic too? This is a great to spot Kingfishers The vibrant azure and copper feathers of the Kingfisher make them one of the UK’s most colourful and instantly recognisable birds. But blink and you’ll miss them – they dart along rivers and streams at high speeds. RSPB nature reserves and our care-taking teams provide safe wetland havens for these special birds and their fishy prey. 2 Blue Badge spaces 150m away from the Visitor Centre. Surface is gravel and mostly flat, but slightly uneven in places.…
