The dramatic coastal scenery of Caerlaverock, its mudflats and saltmarsh, supports a rich range of wildlife, including birds such as barnacle geese, bar-tailed godwit, and knot, as well as natterjack toads, Scotland’s rarest amphibian. The reserve is situated where the River Nith meets the Solway Firth, and a network of paths with raised boardwalks lead visitors through the reserve. There’s also a viewing platform, picnic areas, and a viewing hide. The reserve is located in the region of Caerlaverock.
