Exploring the Wild
Wildlife, nature reserves, birdwatching, and the unique ecology of the Somerset Levels near Langport.
The River Parrett flows lazily past Langport as it crosses one of the most important wetlands in Europe. Whether you are looking from bridge, bank or boat, there is such a variety of creatures to spot, in the air, on the water, or teeming just under the surface.
Not forgetting the treasury of plants that line the river and rhynes and cluster on the meadows. This stretch of the river is an important central point in the renewed River Parrett Trail that runs from source to sea.
