Bawburgh Lake access? (1 Viewer)

[moose86]

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me if there is any public access to Bawburgh Lakes for birding? It is the best hotspot by far on eBird near me, but I cycled around the area today and couldn't seem to find any access.

Any help appreciated!

No local knowledge but a quick Google shows they are private fishing lakes. Their website does mention birdwatching and says that permits are available, but gives no details. Maybe worth contacting them direct.

Stayed next to them and no obvious way in, contact them or maybe go to one of the other rspb/other sites in the area.

Permits are issued in March, and come with a key to get in.

A blend of woodland, grassland, and meadow are home to a large number of animals, especially birds. Purpose-built hides and meandering paths afford visitors amazing opportunities to spot wildlife.
