A very diverse fen area with some excellent walks. Coffee and cake at Thrive cafe on site (not open every day) was a welcome treat at the end of our walk. A lovely welcoming atmosphere there.

For this week's Wednesday Wanderings I headed to Redgrave and Lopham Fen. It's been a while since I've been there and I could have picked a better day for photography. Very grey was the order of the day but I made the most of it. Off I went with my trusty folding seat, and these are some of the pictures of got. Lots of marsh harriers today as well as roe deer, one with velvet antlers that looked like a hat, and an angry looking blackbird scoffing berries by the dozen.

Found this place, great for a walk, and plenty of wildlife. Routes are well marked, unfortunately the route south of the river has no access due to falling trees. Lots of signs stating dogs on leads, but felt this is only when livestock is around. Even a little coffee van at the weekend. Free parking, with donations.

Great place for walks. The grassland, water and woodlands are just right for a relaxing stroll - we also came across a group of Konik Ponies who were very at ease with us walking nearby and taking pictures. It was a great afternoon - highly recommended.

Different distance walks to choose from. Maps available for you to take with you. Coffee place offering refreshments. Free parking. Stunning views. What a wonderful location for a walk! (Be aware Google directions took us down someone's personal drive at first!)
