Blackwater Dawn Barge on Chelmer & Blackwater Navigation

About

Enjoy an early morning cruise along the glorious Chelmer & Blackwater Navigation to hear the dawn chorus and enjoy birdwatching followed by breakfast. The trip will be led by an experienced guide and will spend two hours on the water around Heybridge Basin and the surrounding area, with a chance to see and hear a wide selection of birds including the summer migrants arriving to breed.

After your early start return to the Daisy Meadow Kiosk for a well-earned breakfast bap and tea or coffee. Reservations are essential as numbers are limited.
