Hiking
A peaceful, traditional bird hide overlooking one of Fairburn Ings’ quieter lagoons.
This hide is named after long‑serving RSPB volunteer Bob Dickens and offers close‑range views of wetland species in a sheltered, low‑disturbance setting. It’s a great stop on the Riverside or Discovery Trail if you want a calm place to watch waders, ducks, herons and if you’re lucky, kingfishers or even a bittern.
