Saltfleet Haven and the dunes just south of it.
This area is all about the salt marsh and sand dunes the sand here is probably some of the finest grained sand in the land but there can be a lot of mud as well. It's low wide and flat and sometimes you see the sea
Seems I missed the best of the marsh orchids some years there's stacks of them just a few tatty one now. Highlight though was the acres of sea lavender, samphire and the vipers bugloss.
There's something else with the samphire not sure about that.
Not many butterflies but loads of cinnabar moth caterpillars.
