Comprising three hectares of wet grassland, alder carr and scrub in the heart of the broads, Ranworth holds plenty of attractions for both families and naturalists all year round.
An informative boardwalk leads you through a tapestry of beautiful scenery and allows you to explore both the environment and its history. It’s possible to see lots of wildlife around the reserve including swallowtail butterflies, Norfolk hawker dragonflies, marsh harriers, and perhaps even otters.

From the floating Broads Wildlife Centre, it is possible to see common terns nesting on their specially built platforms, and if you’re lucky you may see the unmistakeable osprey- with a 1.5m wingspan, the majestic fish-easting bird of prey can’t be missed!
