Beschrijving
Alkborough Flats has a superb natural setting, where the rivers Trent and Ouse join to form the Humber. Alkborough Flats is a project which helps prevent thousands of homes from flooding. By breaching the river defences new habitats have been created which are a haven for wading birds and wildfowl, making the site an ideal area for bird watching and walks. Thousands of wintering waterbirds can be seen at Alkborough Flats and include significant numbers of Goudplevier, Kievit, Kemphaan, Grutto, Wulp, Tureluur, Kluut, Bergeend, Wintertaling and Smient. Other frequent sightings include Zwarte Ruiter, Kleine Rietgans, Bruine Kiekendief, Kleine Zilverreiger, Lepelaar, Geelgors, Rietzanger, Rietgors and Baardman.

On the map you see a 6 km circular walk from Alkborough village, down to the Flats,. The walk is mainly on level ground with one steep climb back up to Alkborough. The walk also includes Julian's Bower, a fine example of a turf cut maze thought to have been created by 13th century monks. The maze design can also be seen in the church porch in Alkborough. There are no stiles but a few kissing gates.
