Viewing points
One hide. Special needs visitors may drive to the hide 500 m from visitor centre. The hide is accessed via a 9 m, 1:13 ramp with a handrail; there are two adapted places, but help may be needed to move a bench. A viewing platform overlooking the flooded fields is a concrete pad with handrails. There is also a viewing area within the visitor centre (with telescopes).
Nature trails
Access to the viewpoint track is 30 m from the secondary car park; the 20 m path to the viewpoint is accessible to wheelchair users. The path, which continues 300 m down the hill to the hide, is steep in parts and may prove challenging for semi-ambulant visitors. The woodland trail (1.5 km) is not suitable for wheelchair use and again may prove challenging for the semi-ambulant visitor.
Refreshments available
