Hazlewood Marshes

In the middle distance can be seen the breached river wall.
The brick building in the distance is on the south side of the River Alde.

Hazlewood Marshes, Suffolk

Hazlewood Marshes, an area of undrained freshwater grazing marsh on the north side of the Alde estuary, was acquired by Suffolk Wildlife Trust in the early 1990s. The area was transformed dramatically in early December 2013, when the river wall was breached by a high tide: the area is now flooded twice daily and is in the process of transition to salt marsh, the trees that formerly stood on its fringes now poisoned by salt water.
