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. 

Meet at the pedestrian railway bridge at the end of Whitlingham Lane, NR7 0QA, which is accessed from the A1242 Yarmouth Road (not from Trowse) and is diagonally opposite Thunder Lane. 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.

Under-18s should be accompanied by an adult.
