RSPB Northward Hill

RSPB Northward Hill sits on a ridge above the Thames marshes, with woodland, hayfields and wetland full of birds. Walk the trails to the viewpoints, enjoy bluebells and nightingales in spring and watch huge rook and jackdaw roosts at dusk in winter. It suits walkers and birdwatchers, with no café, so bring a picnic.
