NWT Weeting Heath National Nature Reserve is one of the most important areas of heath in Breckland. Covered by open grassland and stony heath, the site is home to a number of rare plants, birds and insects. Of particular importance are the stone curlews which breed here. The hides overlooking the nature reserve are undoubtedly the best place to see stone curlews in Britain, resident between April and September.
Purchased for Norfolk Wildlife Trust by Christopher Cadbury in 1941, it was one of the first nature reserves in Breckland and was designated a National Nature Reserve in 1954. Facilities include welcoming visitor centre and forest walks.
Dog policy:
Some areas of reserve in ‘Open Access’, but only at certain times of the years. Please observe signage on site.
