Descrição
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 Andorinhão-preto, while in autumn and winter, Tordo-ruivo-comum, Tordo-zornal and Narceja-comum 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.
