Access

Visitors' access to nature reserves is a high priority for Cornwall Wildlife Trust, as is ensuring their enjoyment is maximised. The majority of the Trust's nature reserves are open all year round and only a few require a permit to visit.

Where access is restricted this is done in order to protect the wildlife. Dogs are not allowed on some reserves.

People are a very important factor in managing the Trust's nature reserves whether they are from the local community and use the reserve daily or a casual visitor. Facilities such as signs, information boards, way-marked trails and boardwalks are installed and maintained to guide visitors. Where possible, access for the less able is provided.

Specific access for wheelchairs is provided on some nature reserves and further information regarding terrain can be obtained from the Trust.
