The nature reserve has two signposted circular trails, both starting at the car park, to help you explore this amazing landscape and the wildlife that calls it home.
- Easy access trail: This circular walk is just under half a mile long (700 metres). It is clearly signposted, easy to follow and
suitable for wheelchairs and buggies.
- Reedbed loop: This is a half-mile (800 metre) grass path around the reedbed. There is an additional loop (125 metres) into the heart of the reedbed, or a three quarter-mile (1,000 metre) there and back to an additional viewpoint. Access via trombone gates. No steps or stiles.
Benches on both trails.
