Exmouth Local Nature Reserve is a globally important area for winter birds. In the autumn thousands of birds fly from the freezing Arctic to spend the winter months on the estuary, one of Devon’s most impressive natural spectacles.

Dark-bellied brent geese make their way to this place every year in September and during the winter months, other wildfowl crowd into the estuary to feed - look out for huge flocks of widgeon and graceful pintail ducks.

On the A376 to Exmouth, follow signs to the town centre and docks and park in the Imperial Road car park located next to the swimming pool. From here you can venture out onto the LNR and explore this beautifully wild place.
