I only got as far as the car but it was a good car park, bins, information, car parking spaces, fence to delineate car from non-car park. Pretty much everything required of a car park. Happy to endorse. The RSPB Stour Estuary is an exceptionally scenic, unspoilt expanse of coastline heading towards the Essex side of the mouth of The Stour. The Estuary stretches from the eastern edge of Wrabness & runs past the Haltermann-Carless refinery & Parkeston Quay. The high ground above the shingle shore is densely populated with deciduous trees. Despite the presence of the Mayflower branchline running straight through the Nature Reserve woodland, it still feels tranquil & isolated. The woodland is full of flowers throughout Spring, but probably the best time to visit is in Autumn when the trees are shedding their leaves. There's 3 bird on-site for observing the vast variety of birds visiting the Stour Estuary, as well as the River's resident populations of Swans, Egrets, & other river birds (position of each hide separately marked on Google Maps). The panorama from the Essex riverbank across to Suffolk, on a clear day, gives a clear view of Harkstead Beach & Erwarton Ness, & the Suffolk side of The Stour. Lovely through woodland. 2 - rather a long to (2+ miles from car park). Very quiet, no one around, there are two hides, just until you can't go any further to get to the last one. Shame there is only one footpath in & out but it's well looked after. Really nice place, we enjoyed the great walk. A little bit of everything here. Water, trees, bushes, fields, countryside. It is ok for dogs. Nice views and very quiet although we were here on a in October, so maybe not the busiest time ever. Highly recommend and we will come back. Stunning. Lovely walks, excellent bird viewing opportunities and well-maintained paths and hides. No amenities, so come prepared. Beautiful scenery very peaceful Serene and beautiful. Free parking and No people. Nature seekers can hide to watch nice range of birds. Lots of walking around if you have a dog remember to clean after! Lovely, quiet, nature reserve, with less-trodden paths and plenty of for those with more patience than me! Hides may or may not include giant wasps/hornets. Beautiful place for a dog/family walk. Get the tide times right to make the most of it. No amenities on site and parking is limited. Lovely around the forest! Be warned if your walking with children we had a 2 year old and a 6 year old we took a wrong turn and ended up walking for 3 and a half hours! But lovely forest stunning! A gorgeous day, a wonderful walk. Easy route through woodland if you follow circular walk. Parking for a few cars , take water with you. Came quite far but car no good if your transport is over 6.6 as barrier.. Could not find another space. We have a small campervan. Sadly I could only go as far as the carpark, as even though my wheelchair is small, I still am unable to access the trails. Why can't a radar key kissing gate be installed here instead. As previously commented, even dogs are better thought of than disabled nature lovers. What a wasted trip from Ipswich. Car is very unmaintained, many deep potholes and the picnic area could also do with some attention. does not allow for wheelchair users thus discriminating against a huge part of our society. The gates to are very small, no electric wheelchairs able to access. Dogs welcome, wheelchair users not. Absolutely stupid.
