This 136-hectare nature reserve features a variety of habitats, including woodland, grassland, and wetlands, providing a haven for local wildlife. The reserve is home to a range of species, including birds, bats, and insects, and offers scenic walking trails and picnic areas for visitors to enjoy.
Good to see the birds. Nice quick walk. Toilet and baby change which is great. But due to irresponsible dog owners not picking up the poo I had to use alot of wipes to clean buggy and shoes. If I see a dog owner not picking up I'll be doing it for them and ramming it in their face
Nice walk round for a date. Took some seed to feed the ducks/swans, but disappointed to see people had been filling them up with bread. I'd like to see more information for people not to do this as it has no nutritional value for them. It ruined my experience in feeding them as they weren't interested. Fortunately, I had decent company to keep me entertained instead.
Lovely for a short walk with the dogs. Plenty of ducks and swans. We even spotted a little family of cygnets.
Lovely, relaxing walking area and a great place to observe a wide variety of birds.
love the walk itself, all of the birds and depending what time it is, it is incredibly peaceful. What I will say is the amount of horrific dog owners I have encountered, leaving dog fouling and throwing cigarettes either on the path or in the water is ATROCIOUS and to top it off all the cars in the car park, some of them aren't even for the nature reserve! It's people who live across the road parking there. Have reported the dog fouling and cigarette littering to the council which was met with a "we have officers out once a week checking this" to which I responded, I know, I see them just sit in their van for half an hour then drive off! They don't do anything!
Haven't been here for a while but it still maintains that air of peacefulness and tranquility. It also holds surprises because we saw a cormorant and a heron. The place isn't litter free but it's not as bad as some other places. The bonus is also that there is a toilet here too and sometimes a van selling coffee.
