Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve

A sweeping reserve of dunes, saltmarsh, beach and freshwater habitats at the northern entrance to The Wash.

At Gibraltar Point, dunes, beach, saltmarsh and freshwater areas meet in a constantly changing coastal landscape. The reserve is shaped by tides, weather and migrating wildlife, making even familiar paths feel different across the seasons. Its position at the entrance to The Wash helps explain why this coast matters for birds travelling much farther than the Fens. Explore with care around sensitive habitats, and consult the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust for the latest paths, tide advice and visiting information.
