Situated on the coast, nestled either side of Selsey Town, are the two beautiful nature reserves of RSPB Pagham Harbour and RSPB Medmerry. Between them, they provide a haven for wildlife and a chance to get away from the stresses of modern life. These two wonderful reserves are connected by footpaths and a cycleway. Together they provide miles of easy walking, in beautiful and varied countryside, offering fantastic opportunities to get close to nature and take that perfect photograph.

What's Here

Pagham Harbour covers approximately 1450 acres, criss-crossed with miles of footpaths to explore. At its centre is the intertidal saltmarsh and mudflats which provides food and shelter for so many bird species including the brent geese and pintail ducks for which the harbour is internationally recognised. Complimented with grassland, farmland, copses, reedbeds, lagoons and shingle, this mix of habitats attracts a variety of flora and fauna, making it a special place at any time of year. There are two hides for birders to capture that special sighting.
