We spend the morning at Sculthorpe Moor Nature Reserve while we were having a couple of nights away in Norfolk. Such a lovely place, so peaceful and calming. I great selection of hides and easy trails to follow. Very accessible with wooden boardwalks and lots of benches to sit and watch and listen to the wildlife. Our favourite birds we spotted were Marsh Harriers, Red Kites, Hobbies, Great Egrets and loads of small birds too, we even spotted a lizard and a large family of mice. The staff are really friendly and knowledgeable. Lovely little visitor centre with tea and coffee, snacks and toilets. Highly recommend a visit

Sculthorpe Moor is a fabulous nature reserve with clear signage throughout, boardwalk pathways (great for anyone with mobility issues) and beautifully maintained hides from which to watch the abundant native bird species. We visited on a Sunday afternoon in April and the reserve was blissfully quiet. We’d planned to pop in for an hour and ended up staying a little over four. We saw plenty of birds, including great white egret, marsh tit, tawny owl, jay and stock dove – lots of ticks off my list. There’s no cafe but there is a small shop, ample parking and toilets. Oh – and lots of lovely benches from which to sit and enjoy the view. Overall, a phenomenally well cared for reserve that was a joy to explore. Well done to the Hawk and Owl Trust.

An excellent visit. Good boardwalks, first class hides. Spotted Red Kites and a couple of Marsh Harriers soaring on thermals. Probably a bit early for summer visitors. We enjoyed the antics of tits on feeders.

Having such an amazing and well maintained Nature Reserve on my doorstep is brilliant! I have recently become a member (£37 for the year) and considering how often I want to visit it's an amazing price to pay. Included is an early access card so I can get in from 06:00 till 20:00. The Hides are well kept and all offer a wide variety of different wildlife so make sure you visit them all. Everyone I've encountered here are super friendly and always pass on information regarding what animals/birds they've seen. I can't recommend enough if you love peace and quiet, and seeing the beautiful wildlife!

Amazing summer's day visit in July 2025. Staff so welcoming. We enjoyed a 7 hour wander around the extensive site, experiencing a variety of habitats. Very fortunate to see kingfishers multiple times and for prolonged periods. Also saw marsh harriers, egrets, plenty of waterbirds. We took a picnic and ate it on a bench in the flower meadow. Visitor Centre had some lovely items to purchase but we didn't get back there before closing, sadly. We will try to return to shop and support them. Very good accessibility at this site, all paths were either boardwalks or gravel. All hides accessible by ramps, no stairs. Some hides had a wheelchair ramp at the viewing windows to aid visibility. A well planned and supported site that provides a great day out. Clean, smart, well equipped - deserves our / your support
