Visitors can enjoy walks on Essex Wildlife Trusts nature reserve; with stunning panoramic views across the reservoir and surrounding villages as well as superb views of the waters edge from three bird hides. The nature reserve has a 900m accessible circular footpath and there are wheelchairs available for use; a Brambly Hedge wooden sculpture trail has recently opened, where children can hunt for the mice; there is also a wild play area on the reserve. The Visitor Centre offers a tearoom which is open seven days a week providing a variety of hot and cold food, some of which is locally sourced; easy access toilets & baby changing facilities; and a well-stocked shop which has binoculars, telescopes, bird food, feeders and a range of gifts. Essex Wildlife Trust runs a programme of events throughout the year for all ages as well as childrens outdoor birthday parties and a weekly toddler group available during term time; booking is required for all of our events. Essex Wildlife Trust is a charity and relies on donations to carry out its work for the wildlife and people of Essex; there is suggested entry donation of £2 for Adults £1 for children and £5 family all donations help us to maintain the site.
The huge expanse of Essex & Suffolk Waters Abberton Reservoir plays host to some 40,000 wetland birds each year all attracted to the shallow muddy margins and large areas of rough grassland, which provide the ultimate habitat for a plethora of wildlife and waterfowl. The Visitor Centre is 6 miles SW of Colchester on the B1026 (a minor road linking Colchester and Maldon) just South of Layer de la Haye – follow the brown and white “Abberton Reservoir visitor centre” signs.
