Freiston Shore

This RSPB nature reserve is on the shores of The Wash. It provides excellent views of water birds on the salt water lagoon, especially at high tide when wading birds roost - sometimes in their thousands. The reserve is made up of wet grassland as well as the salt water lagoon.

Dogs must be kept on the path and under close control.

There is a parking charge.

There are two linear routes.

• route one: 0.7 miles (1.1km) there and back
• route two: 2.4 miles (3.9 km) there and back
