Always love a visit to Calton Marshes. Car parking and toilets are good. A nice map of site. Just be aware if wet for which shoes you wear. Coffee shop is a must with great views over reserve.
Well worth a visit if you are staying in Lowestoft or nearby. Bird watchers and lovers of nature will enjoy this. Visitor centre is good. Lots of hides about to watch nature. Take binoculars.
Excellent place to go with the dogs, plenty to see and quite a few different walks depending on how much you can do. Really nice. The cafe and gift shop are also dog friendly with dog seating area in the cafe. Food a little expensive but all made from scratch and tasted amazing so I'm not complaining on the price. Definitely recommend on going. Toilets clean and tidy too.
I took my parents (who struggle with mobility) and 2 dogs to visit. I popped in to the visitor centre and enquired about wheelchair and mobility scooter hire on the off chance and was greeted by a warm welcome! We were able to hire one each for my parents which gave a new lease of life! We walked for 2 hours in a quiet and tranquil environment, we returned to the cafe for tea and delicious cake. Everyone was so helpful, kind and friendly and the dogs were treated like royalty! A wonderful afternoon was had by all thanks to the friendly staff (special shout out to Val), and the accessible facilities at this beautiful place.
Having not long been living in this area we want to visit lots of places around, for family to enjoy as well as ourselves. This place was so much better than I expected. As we had walked to the nature park we started off in the cafe for lunch and a drink. The staff in here were so friendly and helpful and the lunch we had was lovely especially being able to sit on the veranda outside enjoying the perfect peaceful view. We could have just sat there for ages as its that relaxing but we didn't! We popped to have a nose in the shop and then went on one of the walks, beautiful. After the walk we returned to the cafe for a cold drink before making our way home, by foot. There's picnic tables here so you can bring your own food , a children's play area and plenty of parking too. We will definately be returning.
Great place for all ages. Easy walks at various distances. Great cafe worth a visit any time of year
This place has free parking. Please leave the 3 pound donation they do a wonderful job. I was so excited this place is dog friendly. Very structured walks with posts. You can pick the length of the walks. They have a cafe here. Really had a good morning out. Lots of wildlife to be seen.
A lot of wildlife here, particularly birds, although you need to be patient. The landscape is typical wetland with those terrific East Coast skies. Cafe food is excellent value and nicely presented.
Spontaneous trip to the Carlton Marshes on a sunny January Sunday with our labrador and 3 children. Lovely place to go, gorgeous views. We didn't go all away around as the little ones wouldn't of made it round but we did a bit of it and turned back went through the little pond dipping trail. Nice cafe and play area, good parking and seating outside. Definitely worth paying a donation. We don't have any faults.
Excellent walks accessible into the marshes from the visitor centre. Good toilets and cafe available there. Did a long walk in December, a few deer and rarer bird life seen in the remoter sections.
