About the event

Join us for a beautiful, early morning, sunrise walk and an early celebration of the summer solstice, (actually on 21st June) . With the exciting discovery that the ancient Anglo-Saxon solstice line runs through Martlesham Wilds, join our volunteers to visit the solstice line and watch the sun rise. Followed by a tranquil, circular walk around the nature reserve and along the River Deben, taking in the breath-taking views and wildlife delights along the way.

This event is being run by volunteers, for a donation, the money raised will go towards the creation of this new nature reserve.
