    Well there is the river Otter . Log walk but you don't need to walk all of it . Fantastic for wildlife. I have only passed it because it's too far for me to walk and too far away. I pass it going to Bicton Botanical gardens. That also has good wildlife but again lot of walking. Mind you it has a lovely little train that goes all round it

    This is where I live .Just across the road. It only really active between September and January. Most of the visiting birds have gone now But the summer will ring more

    Further up at Topsham is Bowling Green marsh. Thia often has rare visitors and when it does the hide get pretty crowded

    im getting a little more excited each day planning this trip... way down im going through new forest get in some wildlife there, plus churches, standing stones, and some other places ive always wanted to go...

    Just been looking at places on dartmoor, cause i know with my lens the light has to be good for bird spotting but ruins and church yards can happen any time nearly!!

    One thing i forgot to ask are these open access hides in your area chocky dont want to turn upto find no access... lol im currently joining two sites locally so i can keep doing what i enjoy... dont mind paying for it mind what i get from it..

    Most of the RSPB hides are free as far as I know Billy. Though I'm an RSPB memberI havn't seen any that you can't use freely.
    Places of historic interest usually charge o don't go with out your wallet
