Kempton Nature Reserve

Kempton Nature Reserve is an internationally important wetland created by Thames Water. What was once a decommissioned reservoir is now a Special Protection Area for ducks and was notified as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 2000 for its international importance for wintering gadwall. This peaceful, wildlife haven attracts more than 150 species of bird, some very rare in the UK. Access to this site is through the Friends of Kempton Nature Reserve scheme.
