Suffolk Wildlife Trust's network of nature reserves are spread throughout the county. Each one is special in its own right, representing a unique fragment of Suffolk's wildlife habitats - from ancient woodland to flower-rich meadows, coastal shingle and valley fens.

Click on the map or list below to find out more about the wildlife and visitor facilities at each reserve.

With the exception of just a few sites which are just too fragile to expose to numerous pairs of feet, all our reserves are open for you to visit. There is no cost to visit the reserves - they are Suffolk's natural heritage and there for everyone to enjoy. But we do hope that a visit to a reserve will inspire you to become a member of the Trust, to help maintain the reserves and the wildlife they support.
