The Dunes Cottage set on a National Nature Reserve
|
 |
This coastline also offers a wealth of nature and wildlife
at the excellent Reserves managed by English Nature and the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust
for Nature Conservation. These NNRs offer excellent opportunities for
bird and butterfly watching, orchids can be spotted in the early summer
and other wild flowers adorn the area all year through. |
| The Saltfleetby to Theddlethorpe Reserves occupies 4.4 miles of coast between Mablethorpe and Saltfleet Haven. An easy access trail at Rimac allows for those with less mobility to see much of the habitat described. In July the Sea Lavender covers the salt marsh alongside Thrift, Sea Aster, Sea-purslane and Samphire seaweed beds (a local delicacy). In fact a vast range of wildlife can be found here including the rare nocturnal Natterjack Toad. Birds including the Shelduck and Redshank breed here, but the greatest numbers of species can be seen during migration. |  |

Just ten miles up the coast is Donna Nook where seals gather in the winter to rear their young. The reserve has one of the largest and most accessible breeding colonies of grey seals in the UK. During November and December the Trust holds a wardening service to protect the seals and to organise viewing facilities for visitors. It is a truly amazing spectacle. To the south lies Gibraltar point, 430 hectares and 3 miles in length of sandy shores, sand dunes, salt marshes and freshwater habitats. The area, which is recognised as an area of International Scientific Interest, has an observation platform, public hides and a Visitor Centre - the whole family can enjoy exploring this wonderful place. |
