Overview

From Water's Edge Visitor Centre, a brisk walk along the Humber to link up with the Wildlife Trust group. Then a nature walk around Far Ings reserve. We may see Marsh Harriers, bittern and otters. Halfway point for snacks/lunch is in Far Ings visitor centre with great views over Pursuit Pit lake. Finally we return to Water's Edge, with an optional extension around the country park. Refreshments and toilets available at both visitor centres. Sorry NO DOGS on this walk, they are not allowed in the nature reserve.
