Set in a sheltered valley in the heart of the West Sussex countryside, a visit to RSPB Pulborough Brooks nature reserve makes an ideal day out for all ages.

Our clearly marked nature trail is open all year and has superb views over the Arun Valley towards the South Downs. In autumn and winter, the reserve attracts thousands of wild ducks and other water birds.

It is equally worth visiting in spring to hear and see the song birds, while during the summer, the reserve bursts into life with wildlife of all kinds, including birds, butterflies, wild flowers and dragonflies.

Our year-round programme of events and guided walks is a great way of finding out more about the reserve and its wildlife. Whether you are new to birdwatching or a keen regular, you will find all our events are designed to get you 'up close' to nature in the company of like-minded visitors and expert guides.
