Site Details
This site covers the area of Druridge Bay from Druridge Farm to Chibburn Mouth, about 1 mile. The southern section is owned by The National Trust. The Reserve to the immediate west is managed by Northumberland Wildlife Trust. The Reserve is largely the result of land reclamation following mining activities. The area provides quality birdwatching throughout the year; it is quietest in summer and its best in winter. Species are representative of the Druridge Bay area.
