Inner Marsh Farm

Inner Marsh Farm

Inner Marsh Farm (gbmapping|SJ304744) is a nature reserve on the Dee Estuary straddling the border between Cheshire, England and Flintshire, Wales. It is run by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds which bought the land in 1986. The reserve opened in 1992 and includes areas of marshland, woodland and arable fields. Three shallow, freshwater pools have been created.

The reserve has a small car park at the end of an untarmacked road, signposted for Burton Point Farm, off Station Road, just west of the village of Burton. A footpath leads to a hide overlooking the pools.

Because of restrictions from the local council, the RSPB does not publicise the reserve, and they restrict access to their members.

Birds include a variety of waders through the winter and migration seasons including Black-tailed Godwit, Spotted Redshank and Ruff. Winter also brings many ducks and small numbers of Bewick's Swan. Breeding birds include Sedge, Reed and Grasshopper Warblers and Reed Bunting.
