Nature Immerse: An Excursion Through the Natural World

Guided Walks at Lackford Lakes: Explore the Wildlife with Expert Guides

Lackford Lakes, a beautiful nature reserve managed by Suffolk Wildlife Trust, is offering guided walks for nature enthusiasts. These walks provide an excellent opportunity to learn about the local wildlife from knowledgeable guides or wardens.

Event Details

The guided walks take place at the Lackford Lakes Visitor Centre, and prior booking is essential. The cost is £5 per person, although it is free for members if you decide to join on the day and receive a refund for your booking fee.

During the walks, wildlife guides will help spot various species, and binoculars are recommended. You can bring your own or hire them at the Visitor Centre. Wildlife activity sheets are also available to enhance your experience.

What to Bring

Dress for outdoor conditions is a must, with weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear recommended. The onsite café offers drinks, snacks, and meals with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.

Assistance dogs are allowed on all trails, while other dogs are only permitted on the Sayer’s Breck trail and must be kept on leads to protect wildlife and habitats.

Accessibility

The trails are accessible but not paved or tarmacked, which can make them more challenging following poor weather. For specific accessibility requests or detailed information, it is advisable to check the Suffolk Wildlife Trust website or contact them directly before your visit.

Additional guided nature walks may focus on specific wildlife types, such as butterflies, and are hosted on various dates. These events also require booking and often recommend binoculars and appropriate outdoor clothing.

To ensure you have a memorable experience at Lackford Lakes, book your place in advance, meet at the Visitor Centre, bring binoculars or hire them there, wear outdoor clothing, and keep assistance dogs allowed on all trails. Enjoy food and drinks at the onsite café.
