Walberwick National Nature Reserve is one of the most diverse in the UK. Here, plant life ranges from the acid-loving fenugreek and mossy stonecrop to the wetland-loving Marsh Sower-thistle, Bog Pimpernel and Sneezewort. Wildlife is just as abundant, with otters, five species of deer and 280 species of birds present. In addition, this area is unique in the world for its range of habitats. They include reedbeds, hay meadows, marshes, woodlands, heathlands, saline lagoons, and an intertidal estuary.
