The section of the Great Stour east of Fordwich is particularly good for exploring the river and nearby wetlands. There is access via a circular walk which takes you right alongside the Stour, past lakes and reedbeds, returning through Westbere. The area is most notable for its birdlife - great crested grebe and pochard appear on the lakes in winter, swans and herons can be seen in the wet meadows, and the rare bearded tit lives in the large reedbeds.
