Whatever time of year you come to the Avalon Marshes you can see wonderful wetland wildlife; iconic birds such as marsh harrier and great white egret as well as the colourful kingfisher. In the summer dragonflies, damselflies and butterflies are everywhere.  If you are lucky you may see the secretive otter or perhaps a hare.  We have five major nature reserves with hides, boardwalks and trails for young and old.

Geocaching could be described as a modern form of treasure hunt. It is a great way to help you explore the Marshes and try something a bit different.

Explore by Bike

Explore by Bike

The Avalon Marshes are flat and the surrounding hills low – there is a network of minor roads and tracks, and cafes and pubs to visit – an ideal landscape to explore by bike. To help you we have a series of heritage cycle routes.
