440 species of wildflower and grasses,
including the nationally very rare Stinking Goosefoot, grow on
Landguard Common - a sand and shingle spit near Felixstowe
port.
Little Terns and Ringed Plovers nest on the bare shingle with
their eggs artfully camouflaged. The view from Landguard Fort, at
the southern tip of the spit, is well worth the walk.
Landguard Nature Reserve is a Site of Special Scientific
Interest, a Local nature Reserve and part of a Scheduled Ancient
Monument and is managed by Suffolk Wildlife Trust, for the
landowners, including Suffolk County Council.
