Beddington farmlands.

Afternoon.

I’m planning a visit here this Sunday.

I’ve read on the website that there are quite a few species here and an eagle was recently spotted flying over the site.

Apparently they have spotting booths now built on the site along what’s been described as an authorised footpath.

I live not too far from it and can see it from my window.

Is it worth a visit?

Cheers.

Rich. 

  • Sorry no one has answered you Rich. I have no idea where that is, I am up at the top of Scotland! This will bump your post up and hopefully someone can help.

  • Hi-

    if this is the old Beddington sewage farm in Surrey it used to be great for waders :)

    David Lindo recommends it- and The redoubtable Steve Gale used to watch there- :)
