Brandon Marsh
Brandon Marsh is a 200-acre nature reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) on the banks of the River Avon, near to Coventry. Once an active sand and gravel quarry, the site is now a tranquil series of pools and wetlands, with nature trails and five bird hides. Depending on the time of your visit you could see migrating waders, breeding warblers or year-round residents like kingfisher, coot or moorhen.
