Beschreibung
Lewes Railway Land Nature Reserve is a peaceful 25-acre site near Lewes station, full of wildlife and history. Once a railway goods yard, it’s now a mix of wet willow woodland, reedbeds, meadows, riverbank, and scrub. It’s a great spot for birdwatching year-round. In spring and summer, you might see reed warblers and Mauersegler, while in autumn and winter, Rotdrossel, Wacholderdrossel and Bekassine are regular visitors.
What makes it special is the variety of habitats so close to town, offering a quiet, scenic place to walk, watch wildlife, and enjoy nature.
