Marline Valley
A very rich wooded valley above a ghyll stream with meadows, ponds and scrub
Marline Valley is a wonderful mix of semi-natural ancient woodland, unimproved meadows and a classic Sussex ghyll stream situated on the edge of Hastings. Leased from Hastings Borough Council since the 1980s this site is designated both a Site of Special Scientific Interest and Local Nature Reserve.
Marline Valley Nature Reserve is free to visit, but we are only able to care for Marline Valley with the support we receive from our members. Please consider becoming a member today.
