Welcome

RSPB Frampton Marsh is situated on The Wash, one of the best wetlands for wildlife in Europe. There are lots of different habitats to explore including reedbeds and one of the largest saltmarshes in the world! It is excellent for singing skylarks, burping brent geese and boxing hares. Families are always made welcome and you can get close views of wildlife from the visitor centre. The reserve is situated within the agricultural Lincolnshire landscape and is reached along quiet, generally single lane, rural roads. There is a choice of routes around the reserve. Major paths are made of compacted unbonded aggregate leading to three viewing hides.
