I had such a wonderful time at RSPB Radipole Lake! The reserve is beautifully maintained, peaceful, and full of amazing wildlife. It’s the perfect place for a relaxing walk while enjoying nature at its best. The staff and volunteers were friendly and knowledgeable, which made the visit even more special. I left feeling refreshed and inspired! I’ll definitely be visiting again soon!
Beautiful place with a quaint little café overseeing the lake. Lots of bird species can be seen here, such as Marsh Harriers, cormorants, bearded tits, swans, herons, and lots of other birds too!
So many birds in the reserve just watchingthem by the cafe. There was also fish in the water ,alot my friendsfush here.. It's a nice long walk and you can spend most of the day there. It's a 20 min walk to rspb lodmoor. Good to see they laid a new layer on the path, as it gets flooded and can't walk through. Enjoyable walk around, peaceful and quite.
Wonderful nature reserve for birds, insects and small mammals. The trails are a great way to see ducks and swans further up the lake and you can get some lovely photos from the hide. The staff at the Radipole Lake Cafe are helpful and friendly. We'll worth a visit if you like a walk amount nature.
Entry was free. The thatched building has a cafe with a large window to view part of the lake and some outdoor seating. You have to be prepared for the fact that a lot of the area is covered in reeds which are necessary for the birds to nest and be safe. I saw ducks, carp, swans, sygnets, heron, swallows, marsh harrier. It's a lovely peaceful place to walk around. It's a five star space for the animals. The only downside for me was the fact that I could always hear the hum of traffic in the distance, hence 4 stars.
