The tidal marshes of the Wash, which fringe the east of the Lincolnshire Fens, have for many years been a popular draw for birdwatchers, nature lovers, walkers and cyclists. A popular attraction to the area is the RSPB reserve at Freiston Shore, which is a 12 hectare lagoon with islands. Visitors to Boston’s salt marshes can explore large swathes of former farmland some of which the sea has been allowed to reclaim, to attract wading birds.

One occasional visitor to the reserve is Professor David Bellamy, Honorary President of Fens Tourism. David, who has an affinity for the fens and feels that… “the region is rich in history and unique in what it has to offer tourists, particularly those looking to get away from it all for a short while”. And how can you not be instantly drawn to the breathtaking views? This is the land of sunsets and sunrises, and when the odd storm does decide to rear its ugly head, take a look at the colours it creates - simply natural and beautiful.”

To help visitors to make the most of a visit to the Boston Wash Banks the local RSPB group produce a year round programme of events and activities. For details contact the RSPB - Boston Wash Banks Office on (01205) 724678 or via the web site at www.bostonwashbanks.com
