Directions:
Turn off A27 onto Langstone Road and left into Ship Inn car park just before Langstone Bridge, for initial stop and toilets. Waders can often be seen on the mud here and all along the walk from there towards the seawall

Then drive over the bridge and turn right after 300 yards by the second petrol station signed Nature Reserve (brown sign) to small car park near oysterbeds. Alternatively turn left directly opposite this car park and find a space by the houses if the Nature Reserve car park is busy.

Habitat:
Firm paths at both sites, but can be muddy if wet.  Expanses of mud in estuary, views of the sea in Langstone Harbour, oysterbeds with lagoons.  Mill pond and open fields, woodland and scrub.

Attractions:
Winter wader flocks at high tide roost, sea ducks, grebes, geese and gulls, egret roost.

Amenities:
No facilities at The Oysterbeds but there are public toilets on the road outside the Ship Inn (see above).
