Seaton Marshes

UK»England»Devon»Seaton Marshes

Eaton Marshes is a grazing marsh, with scrapes, ditches and ponds that attract considerable wildlife interest, from wildfowl and wading birds in the winter to dragonflies and butterflies in the summer. Seaton Marshes has recently been awarded the prestigious Green Flag Award.

Before the Local Nature Reserve was established, there was no public access to the lower part of the Axe estuary, so very little was known of its value for wild birds. Now with the installation of a viewing hide and wheelchair-friendly paths, you are free to enjoy this beautiful area and its wildlife.

Bear left down the hill and park on the right hand side of the cul-de-sac, where there is enough space for four vehicles. Do not obstruct access to the water works.
