Accessibility during autumn and winter

During the colder months, the reserve can be wet and muddy so waterproof footwear is recommended. Those with limited mobility or using push wheelchairs may find traversing the Avenue and Saltcot Loaning unsuitable. Please call us on 01387 770200 for more info.

Latest Sightings - 3rd June - more sunshine and a Lego Damselfly!

Another lovely sunny day on the reserve.

The Meadow is growing at a rate of knots, and more Northern Marsh Orchids can now be seen popping their purple heads up.

Good numbers of Common Blue, Blue-tailed and Large Red Damselflies are around the Teal Pond, along with a few Four-spotted Chaser Dragonflies!

You can also see our fantastic Lego Damselfly in the Visitor Centre before heading out to see the real thing!
