Summary[edit]

Description
English: Saltfleetby National Nature Reserve Looking out across the reserve from the top of the dunes.

Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe Dunes NNR is on the Lincolnshire coast, the site comprising 8 km of coastal dunes and foreshore. The dunes began forming in the 13th century and are reputed to have largely been thrown up in one great storm. The same processes of wind and tidal action continue dune formation on the site today and this is one of those parts of the east coast that is accreting rather than eroding away.

The reserve's dunes support a variety of flowers and grasses while saltmarsh and freshwater marsh areas are home to a wide variety of insects, amphibians, birds and mammals.
