Restrictions
Dogs are welcome on site but due to the sensitive nature of the nature reserve please keep to the following rules:- Enjoy your walk along the main trails but please keep your dog on a lead. If you see other visitors, please bring your dog to a short lead as some visitors are not confident around dogs. Keep a look out for horses! Ensure both your dog and the horses remain safe by keeping a short lead and giving distance to horses and riders. Control or train dogs not to chase wildlife. Clean up after your dog and use the dog waste bins provided at the car park and reserve entrance. Thank you for being a responsible dog owner.
Assistance dogs are welcome in all parts of the reserve.
