Abbots Hall Walk - Matt Twydell

Booking is essential for this event.

Senior Essex Wildlife Trust ranger, Matt Twydell, will lead a walk around Abbotts Hall reserve. Abbotts hall is on the threshold of rural and wild, where historical fields transition naturally into the coastal saltmarsh of the Blackwater estuary. In this guided walk you can see how Abbotts Hall is transforming, and how it fits into the wider landscape. You will learn about the creation of ponds, the importance of scrub and grassland, and the restoration of natural processes including traditional grazing. The tour will include visits to at least one hide and the opportunity to spot some of the wildlife that this remarkable site attracts.

The guided walk follows a largely flat route along mown grass and paved paths. However, the ground can be uneven in places, so sturdy footwear is essential. You will have the opportunity to use the toilets and refill water bottles before setting off, but there are no facilities elsewhere on the reserve. Meet at Abbotts Hall, Maldon Road, Great Wigborough CO5 7RZ, TL 963145, ///puns.snug.error
