Access

With only a few exceptions there is public access to our nature reserves throughout the year – go to our nature reserves for more information. Access may be restricted at some times in order to protect sensitive species and habitats or because we are undertaking work that might be hazardous to the general public, such as forestry operations. When this is the case notices will be posted at the nature reserve and on the website.

Dogs are permitted on many of the reserves but do check before visiting. Where dogs are permitted we ask walkers to stay on any paths, to keep their dogs under close control and to clear up any mess their canine friends may leave behind.

You will find information boards and way-marked paths at many of our nature reserves. Self-guided trail leaflets may also be available. Check out the related links to your right.

When visiting a nature reserve always follow the Countryside Code.
