Join our estuary ranger for one of their monthly walks around the Otter Estuary, taking in the seasonal highlights.

Otter Estuary Ranger Walk

A leisurely walk around the footpaths of the Otter Estuary Nature Reserve with stops to take in the sights and sounds of the reserve. Learn about the wildlife that uses the estuary and what you can expect to see from month to month.

Three years on from the Lower Otter Restoration Project, 55ha of new saltmarsh and mudflat is developing in the estuary and atracting new wildife to enjoy. See first hand how the site is evolving with the turn of the seasons and the ebb and flow of each tide.
