Grazing marshes, scrubs, pools, reedbeds and dykes around the Waveney river. Habitat creation in recent years extended the reserve to 405 hectares.
Carlton Marshes lie in the Waveney Valley at the southern tip of the Norfolk Broads and is part of the Suffolk Broads. It comprises a jigsaw of grazing marsh, fens, peat pools, short fen meadow, tall fen (called 'tall litter fen'), dykes, pools and scrub. Mostly man-made, these habitats have developed over hundreds of years of traditional management and now host specialised wildlife.
This reserve is a paradise for marsh land birds and birds of prey including Ógea and Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis. The reserve is one of the best sites in East Anglia to see Felosa-malhada. The reed and sedge beds along the river wall make ideal nesting cover for rouxinol-dos-caniços and Felosa-dos-juncos, Felosa-unicolor, Chapim-de-bigode and Rouxinol-bravo. The grazing marshes are also ideal for wintering wildfowl and breeding waders with Abibe-comum and Perna-vermelha-comum displaying through the spring and large numbers of Piadeira, Marrequinha-comum and Narceja-comum in winter.
The reserve is located west of Lowestoft. Entrance is free. How to get there: By bike, on the A146 (6 km from Lowestoft city centre). By train, stop at Oulton Broad South Station and walk 1,5km to the Visitor Centre. By Bus: buses stopping near the end of Burnt Hill Lane on the A146 and Oulton Broad South and North stations being a 20 or 30 minute walk respectively. By car, follow Visitor Centre and park there. Click on the P in the map for directions. How to visit: by foot only.
Carlton Marshes bought a new piece of land (Peto's marsh) in 2018 and is has created a vast wetland on it. Observatories and new trails have been created. This is a huge improvement on the already massive potential of the reserve, very exciting for all wetland species!
