Far Ings National Nature Reserve is an ideal destination for watching wildlife. The open water, reedbeds and meadows of the reserve are a legacy for the tile and cement industry, which once flourished on the south Humber bank. Thanks to pioneering management by the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, Far Ings is now rich in wildlife including aquatic plants, insects such as dragonflies and birds including marsh harrier, shoveler and pochard.

The reserve is one of the foremost areas in the country for the conservation of reedbeds and a stronghold for one of Britain’s rarest bird, the bittern. In the new visitor centre, there are striking panoramic views across the reserve and out to the estuary and Humber Bridge beyond.
