About the event

Explore NWT Thorpe Marshes, part of the Norfolk Broads, yet on the edge of Norwich in Thorpe St Andrew. It's a charming mix of grazed and ungrazed marshes, ditches and the open water of St Andrew's Broad. Join local naturalist, Chris Durdin, for a meander and discover the reserve’s wildlife.

Please also note that there is no car park or parking on Whitlingham Lane but the site is easily reached via bus from Norwich city centre.
