Wrabness Walk

The RSPB Stour Estuary Nature Reserve is in Wrabness. Wrabness is a small peaceful village, located between Manningtree and Harwich in Essex.

 

 

We walked onto the public footpath, and this unique building which overlooks the River Stour cought our attention at first. It is known as 'Julie's House' or 'A House for Essex', which was created by the artist Grayson Perry, who won the Turner Prize on 2003.

We looked closely at the house, tiles, window, ornaments, everything was elaborate.

We walked the banks of the River Stour estuary. It is an important wildlife site, and is managed by RSPB (The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds).

We saw some beautiful turquoise blue dragonflies.

 

I am at a loss for words to describe this area, but I felt something different as if there were natural or human spirits. The path was along the river, and has an atmosphere of openness, but also looks hidden place by trees and far from the river as well.

The beautiful flowers were blooming.

 

Everything was ok even though we didn't have a map. Our only failure this time was that recklessly we didn't have a bottle of water...
