Anderby Creek

Add to favourites

Anderby Creek is a very small holiday village just north of Chapel St Leonards. There is a long sandy beach, quiet, unspoilt and plenty of space; it has been recognised as one of the UK’s Top 40 beaches. Growing over large areas of the dunes is the distinctive sea buckthorn. It is spiny with silvery green leaves and in autumn covered with orange berries beloved by birds. It loves dry, sandy coastal areas and is tolerant of salt.

Wolla Bank

Between Anderby Creek and Chapel Point is Wolla Bank Reedbeds, created after clay was scraped away to carry out repairs to the sea wall. Reed warbler, sedge warbler, reed bunting and whitethroat all nest here and you may be lucky and see marsh harriers and hear bitterns. The bird hide, known as the Round and Round House on top of the dunes offers fantastic views both out to sea and inland towards the Lincolnshire Wolds.
