Short birdwatching visit · Wild Ken Hill
Snettisham Coastal Park public paths
Snettisham · PE31 7PS
The public floodbank paths at Snettisham Coastal Park offer views across The Wash on one side and reedbeds or freshwater marsh on the other. Wild Ken Hill describes this part of the coast path as a birdwatching route and lists Curlew, Redshank, Knot and other waders on its coastal walks. Start from Snettisham Beach and stay on the signed public routes. The rewilding enclosure has no general public access, so it should be watched from the permitted paths or visited on a separately booked guided tour.
