Freshwater | Lemsford

Lemsford is a hidden gem in the heart of the South East of England just a mile from the A1M and its thunderous traffic.

Despite its proximity to modern settlements, the Lemsford nature reserve is packed with wildlife.

Waterways are a great place to see wildlife from a very different perspective. Why not get out on the water to watch wildlife?

Our waterways provide great opportunities for wildlife watching. Why not take a few tips from the TV team?
