Boulge Hall Marshes is a coastal marshland located in the county of Suffolk, England. Situated near the village of Boulge, these marshes are part of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The marshes are bordered by the East River Deben to the south and stretch towards the North Sea.

Covering an area of approximately 40 hectares, Boulge Hall Marshes consist of a diverse range of habitats including saltmarshes, mudflats, and reed beds. These habitats provide a crucial ecosystem for a variety of plant and animal species, many of which are rare and protected. The marshes are home to numerous bird species, including wading birds such as curlews, redshanks, and avocets, as well as various species of ducks and geese.

The tidal nature of the marshes means that they are subject to regular flooding, creating a dynamic environment that is constantly changing. This makes Boulge Hall Marshes an important site for tidal habitat conservation and restoration. The marshes also play a vital role in flood prevention, acting as a natural buffer zone and absorbing excess water during high tides and storms.

The marshes are accessible to the public, offering opportunities for nature enthusiasts, birdwatchers, and walkers to explore the rich biodiversity of the area. Several footpaths and trails provide access to the marshes, allowing visitors to observe the wildlife and enjoy the tranquil beauty of the Suffolk coastline.

A walk to the River Alde, Suffolk This photograph shows the track/public footpath that leads to Westrow Reach on the River Alde in Suffolk. Approximately 100m behind the photographer’s viewpoint is the unclassified road from which, at a right-angled bend, the track begins. Ahead the track turns off to Cowton Farm whilst the public footpath continues towards the river.

A walk to the River Alde, Suffolk This photograph shows the public footpath that leads to Westrow Reach on the River Alde in Suffolk. Approximately 100m behind the photographer’s viewpoint is the point at which the track/public footpath divided, one branch (the track) leading north to Cowton Farm and this branch (the footpath) continuing on towards the river. The OS map records this as a track almost all the way to the river, however just a little further ahead the path becomes impassable to any vehicle except, perhaps, a bicycle.
