Tourist Guide

The Ham Wall National Nature Reserve, 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) west of Glastonbury, on the Somerset Levels in the valley of the River Brue in Somerset, England is managed by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.

It is part of the Brue Valley Living Landscape conservation project. The project commenced in January 2009 and aims to restore, recreate and reconnect habitat. It aims to ensure that wildlife is enhanced and capable of sustaining itself in the face of climate change while guaranteeing farmers and other landowners can continue to use their land profitably. It is one of an increasing number of landscape scale conservation projects in the UK.

This new wetland habitat has been established from old peat diggings and now consists of areas of reedbed, wet scrub, open water and peripheral grassland and woodland. Many bird species live on or visit the site including the bearded tit, bittern, Cetti's warbler, hobby and starlin

The South Drain Taken from the old railway bridge, this shows the South Drain as it flows northwards to meet the Glastonbury Canal. Both then head west-north-west across the Somerset Levels towards the Bristol Channel. On the left is part of Walton Heath. More specifically, the area seen in the photograph is a former peat excavation area which was known as 'Signal Pole' and was worked by Fisons PLC. A lot of the fields or 'grounds' where peat excavation took place were given names. It is now flooded and forms part of the Ham Wall Reserve.
