Get out in nature
What are you waiting for? Not only are we spoilt for choice in Norfolk with a rich variety of habitats, glorious beaches, and rare species, but we also happen to have both the oldest and smallest nature reserves in the UK!
At Norfolk Wildlife Trust, we believe in giving everyone the opportunity to experience our wildlife and wild places. Not only is there so much out there to learn and explore, but getting out in nature can be an incredible boost to our mental well-being.
Explore our full list of reserves and experience these benefits for yourself!

Upcoming events
We put our heart and soul into our events programme: it's chock-full of outdoor adventures, workshops, craft sessions, and family activities, with something for everyone to enjoy.
