Amazing little reserve. The RSPB volunteers spotting on site were very helpful

A great RSPB site. Around a 1 mile walk from the car park through woodland along the Trent Valley way to the entrance of the site where you are treated to acres of reed beds and marshland. There are circular walks and a useful information hut where friendly advisors will answer all your questions. On the day we saw around 9 different warblers, Hobbies, Bitterns, and a Cuckoo amongst many others...Note: there are no one site toilets.

Nice walk around the nature reserve you'll hear plenty of little birds sing in the spring/summer you see a variety of different species. Its a great place if you are into your birding or if you just want to clear your head. The 360 viewing platform is great to see a couple of different phases. There are a couple of trails you can do they take upto an hour. If you go midday the hut maybe open you can have a conversation with the rspb volunteer. They'll tell you whats about they are always nice and friendly. You might be lucky enough to see a kingfisher. Hobby, bittern or an owl The only cost is the carpark. Unless you want to leave a donation

A lovely walk, not too difficult at all. As we've not had rain recently, the paths were easy to negotiate but I'd imagine it might be tricky after a lot of rain.

Absolutely gorgeous spot for a walk or watching wildlife. I saw grebes, lapwings, cormorants, swallows, and sand martins, to name a few - sans binoculars! It's a bit of a walk down a gravelly track to get to the actual walks and water, but well worth it. There's also a long perimeter walk if that's your thing. The water and reedbeds are stunning, and there are lots of options for walks of different lengths and places to sit. The seasonal trail was open, which was lovely - there were also benches at the end of this for the opportunity to rest or take in the views before turning back. I'd really recommend downloading the Merlin app for bird ID for any RSPB visits. Its sound identification is amazing for helping work out what a call is and finding out what incredible diversity you're surrounded by even when you can't see it all. There is a good car park but no other facilities. Parking is free to RSPB members or I paid £1 for two hours via the parking app.
