At Kessingland and beyond

 

Once you arrive at Kessingland beach, its a tough walk just to get to the sluice.  We usually just drive to Kessingland beach then the walk is much easier.

After a km walk along the beach - you come across the start of the Benacre Nature Reserve.  Its a lovely walk once you get there.  Please remember to keep your dogs on a leash during the nesting season.  I saw several dogs loose .... and its not right - but who is going to police the dog owners?????  You certainly cannot rely on some of them to respect wildlife!

 

 

The pictures above are taken from the river near the sluice (July 2004).  Plenty of rabbits!

 

However, walk past the sluice and there is a lovely, peaceful environment.  Benacre reserve - so please keep your pets under control especially during the breeding season (for the birds - not the dogs or rabbits!  :) )

This is a lovely spot.  Not many people make the walk to this little spot of peace.  The sea remains on the left hand side of the very rough (man-made) path which appears to be crumbling.  On the right hand side is a small fresh water area - we have seen quite a variety of birds here. 

Here are some evening pictures I took:

6 Sept 2004 - Looking towards Benacre Broad

Once the path vanishes totally, you can (tide dependant) continue walking along the beach (as shown in the photo above) and you will reach Benacre Broads.  See the tree in the far horizon?  That is where the Broads are.
