A great spot for a walk with your dog or just a strole in the sunshine. Lovely areas to get in the river too if thats your thing. Its much quieter here than the UEA park so its worth the walk down, it only takes 5 mins from the UEA carpark too so thats very handy.

Help. I am from Latvia and every time I come here there is some dope with his camera stalking me. Idk what to do! My Danish friend says he has the same problem. This marsh is so lovely so it's a shame.

No set marked walk, but great large area to walk around. Park at bowthorpe southern carpark. Around 15 mins walk to main marshes. Very friendly horses in the fields. Wear welly boots! Back ground noise of cars sadly.

Area was special in the 1990s but now it has been absolutely devastated by all of the housing and tarmac. Give it another 30 years and what remains will all be converted to housing too, with maybe ten trees cordoned off to remind people of what once was. The only way to enjoy walking here is to make sure your back is turned at all times to all of the ugly buildings that now dominate the area like tumours on the surface of earth.

If you want some peaceful time, that's the place you must visit. Gorgeous and lovely place. My daughter loved every second of it. Its free of charge and the car park is also there right at the entrance. Had a great time surrounded by nature.

It's a really serene place following the river through a nature reserve. Really beautiful and picturesque and a great place for dog walkers but be aware that there are marsh horses roaming so if your dog is a bit naughty probably best to keep on the lead.
