From iridescent kingfishers to swirling clouds of starlings, the landscape of lakes, reedbed, meadow and woodland makes Suffolk Wildlife Trust's Lackford Lakes a wildlife oasis, offering close-up encounters with nature all year round. The reserve, trails and hides are open daily from dawn to dusk. Call in to the visitor centre for panoramic views of the reserve... coffee, cake and ice cream... and wildlife explorer back packs for young adventurers. Family activities and adult wildlife courses take place at Lackford Lakes throughout the year; follow us on Facebook or Twitter to keep in touch.

What a marvellous place to visit! Four of us had a great time on our first exploration. And yes we did catch glimpses of kingfishers! The herons, swans, geese and ducks were easier to spot, and there’s an abundance of garden birds at the feeding stations. Friendly and helpful staff in the cafe helped make this a memorable visit. If you’re interested in wildlife and prefer level walking this is a place ‘not to miss’!
