This place is a Clyst Valley Gem
Bowling Green, and adjacent Goosemoor, are a haven for overwintering birds. Salt marshes form where the rivers meet the sea, flooding the marshes with salt water brought in on the tides.
These tidal salt marshes and mudflats provide wetland habitats for thousands of migrating waders, ducks and geese that visit every year. High-tide roosting sites and mud flats revealed by the receding tides. With bird hides and viewpoints along easily accessible routes, there’s something to see here every season of the year.
On the edge of Topsham along the River Exe, within easy reach of the train station and village high street, there are plenty of walking and cycling routes for safe connections to explore this river landscape full of wildlife.
