The Medmerry Reserve was originally created by the Environment Agency as a flood defence scheme and is considered to be the largest managed coastal realignment project in Europe. It was completed in 2013 and is managed by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) offering some of the best and most interesting walks in the area.
The reserve has no toilets, facilities or hides. But there is a visitor centre at the Pagham Harbour reserve which is nearby. Where you can get the latest information about visiting both reserves, the best places to see the wildlife and use the amenities.
