The Meon River completes its journey at Titchfield Haven National Nature Reserve, a 369 acre site of river, fen, pools, reedbed and meadows. There are eight bird hides from which to enjoy the wide variety of wildlife, and on the east side they are connected by a series of boardwalks. Tickets need to be purchased from the visior centre.

Testwood Lakes
Testwood Lakes is a wildlife haven on the edge of Southampton. You would never guess how close you are to the M27 while you are enjoying easy paths around the beautiful nature reserve.
Farlington Marshes
There aren’t many walks we do that I actually think are better in the winter, but this could be one. During the colder months especially, this habitat is home to an internationally important population of wading birds and wildfowl. And all just a hop across the water from the city of Portsmouth.
Fishlake Meadows
Fishlake Meadows is a wetland nature reserve in the southern Test Valley, just outside Romsey. There is a wealth of wildlife to be found here from osprey to dragonflies to water voles.
