Two projects on the Suffolk coast have been told they look likely to receive a £250,000 windfall to make them more accessible - and more attractive to wildlife.
The Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) has been told it is likely to get the money from National Grid s Landscape Enhancement Initiative which will be shared between schemes at Minsmere and at Snape Marshes.
At Minsmere £196,000 will be spent making it easier for people using the public hides near the beach. A new 400-metre boardwalk suitable for wheelchairs will be built, a hide will be extended and a new viewing platform created.

The Dig charts the excavation of the Sutton Hoo burial ship in 1939, which is arguably the greatest Anglo-Saxon archaeological discovery ever made. The film stars Ipswich-born Ralph Fiennes as Suffolk archaeologist Basil Brown and features locations such as the Deben estuary, Snape Marshes, Boyton Marshes and the costal hamlet of Shingle Street.
