Enjoy beautiful views over the 17 hectares of the Mickle Mere, a low lying seasonal wetland owned by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust.

Here is the location of a bird hide, full of fascinating information including the Suffolk Barn Owl project. Do read the wildlife records book. The mere dries out during the summer but at other times regularly floods providing excellent opportunities to see many species of migrating waterfowl. The mere is also home to a variety of mammals including otters and water voles.
