Nice walk and the lookouts are well equipped with binoculars and cushions. Lovely to sit and watch all the birds. Just disappointing you can’t walk around it all.

Came here on the suggestion of a friend. I wasn't disappointed, the variety of species of birds, the abundance of wildlife, such as muntjac deer and otters make this a great place to visit. There are 7 hides around the lakes, all providing great views of the birds. There is a permit fee to pay, only £5 for the day. Either pay online, at the boat shack or to a warden. You will have a great day observing the wildlife here.

This is an absolutely beautiful place. It is so tranquil with an amazing array of birds including but not limited too Avocet, Stonechat and Lapwing. The hides are well maintained and even have cushions and binoculars in the moor to borrow as well as books to read within the hide. Despite the proximity to the road the hides seem to completely absorb the sound of traffic so you are just immersed in this lovely place looking at these beautiful birds. I highly recommend this to any bird lover or anyone who wants a good day out

Superb on site cafe at this site and excellent free parking. Location to park is at the Aztec site on the roundabout opposite the Webb’s turn. The toilet is on level ground making it accessible to people with more limited mobility and is close to the cafe - through an adjacent door. The views are extraordinary. It is in a truly awful looking office building but do not be put off by this or the ‘ Takeaway cafe’ sign as it means they’re being compliant by using disposable but plastic free as far as they can, containers plus you can take items away if you choose. Excellent friendly staff and service. Tables wiped with disinfectant after each visitor. It gave me some quiet reflective time after such a truly awful year. I could see two little egrets, a group of tufted ducks and flocks of Canada geese from the cafe on the main water sport lake and this wasn’t even on the quiet lakes further into the bird reserve. Such a hidden gem.

An excellently maintained wetland Nature Reserve. A haven for wildlife. Host to a large number of resident and migrant waterfowl and woodland birds. Comfortable, warm birdhides with spectacular views over the pools. Busy sailing pool.
