Site Details
The National Trust reserve at Newtown is the most important reserve on the Isle of Wight. The estuary has three 'arms' called lakes and a narrow entrance from the sea formed by sand spits. At the western end is Shalfleet Quay; Causeway Lake is the centre arm, and Clamerkin Lake is the eastern inlet. Here lie two woods, Walter's Copse, and Town Copse; also owned by the National Trust. The main habitat is tidal salt marsh; adjoining fields provide roosting space and the woods are home to many other birds.
