See all- Minibus trip, Norfolk Coast 9 miles easy - Day TripThe Queen Victoria, Snettisham
Join us for a day trip out of Cambridge to the Norfolk Coast. We will start in Snettisham before making our way through Frogpits wood and the Lodgehill Plantation. Our journey takes us across the marshland where waterfowl nest and many sea birds can be seen.
Crossing Heacham dam we then walk along Snettisham beach where we will stop for Lunch. A comfort break is available at the beach cafe.
We continue our walk through RSPB Snettisham. During high tides, especially during spring tides, tens of thousands of birds such as Knots, Dunlins, and Oystercatchers are pushed closer to the beach, creating a spectacular display known as the "whirling wader spectacle." This event features thousands of birds taking to the air, creating a mesmerizing sight with their synchronized movements and calls.
We then pass through the lagoons, salt marsh, and mudflats which provide panoramic views of the saline lagoons, salt marsh, and mudflats.
Finally we start our return inland towards Dersingham, crossing meadows and woodland before returning to Snettishham via Southgate.
