Event details

Date: 8 February 2026

Time: 10:00am – 12:00pm

Location: Wrabness Nature Reserve

Join us for a light stroll as we explore the shores of Wrabness Nature Reserve, Manningtree and celebrate the local wildlife. Our team of coastal rangers will guide you from the car park through the reserve to the bird hide, along the seawall and back. Please note that this walk involves some mixed terrain and may not be suitable for those with limited mobility, however our rangers will be on hand to escort any walkers who need to end their walk early. Special thanks to Essex Wildlife Trust for their support in running this event.

We will meet at the Wrabness Nature Reserve car park (free) at 10:00AM and will walk for approximately 2 hours.  Please bring suitable footwear, as the paths can get muddy and slippery after wet weather. There are no toilets or other facilities available on site. Dogs are welcome to join in but MUST be kept on leads for the entire duration of the walk.
