Facilities

Visitor centre

The visitor centre has recently been updated and new information panels installed. 

A model of the reserve maps all the habitats, shows you paths and routes to follow and where features on the reserve are.  The panels tell the story of how the different elements of the reserve evolved and what you are likely to see once you are out exploring.

The visitor centre is only a short distance (200metres) from the car park with a well surfaced and level path connecting the two.

Opening hours

The visitor centre is open: Easter to October - 9-5pm October to Easter - 10-4pm (Staff permitting)
