Cornard Mere information board

This board is tucked away, just off a footpath leading from Stone Farm on the B1508, to Moor's Farm, Great Cornard. Two areas of open water were created ten years ago and can only be accessed from this footpath, although it is not possible to reach the water's edge. The Mere attracts a rich variety of wildlife, from marginal aquatic plants to insects and wildfowl.
