Beautiful place, River walk with flooded Ings the other. Awesome wildlife with plenty of sturdy hides; Goldeneye, Marsh Harriers, Buzzards, Curlew, etc seen on a frosty January afternoon. Good boots or Wellies recommended.
A lovely peaceful little reserve, enjoyed spending a few hours here and saw my first Green Sandpiper.
This is a beautiful place to spend a good few hours. Easy walking path by the bank of river Derwent. There are a variety of wildlife birds, insects, and mammals. Good place to observe wild flowers. Postcode provided on maps does not take you to the exact location. Look for Ings Lane to access the car park. Space for 8-10 cars. Don't forget to take your camera and binocular. Walking path filled with gravels as they get muddy on rainy days. Wear appropriate shoes. To enjoy the place, please be extra quiet so you hear birds calling and watching birds without disturbing them. Please make sure you don't leave any rubbish.
This is a great nature reserve for a walk, even better for bird watching. Not much around today but a bit of scenic photography to take.
Enjoyed our walkabout, one member recorded 17 species. Entrance not marked as Wheldrake Ings... Car Park - small but free. Accessibility - level paths but slope down hill, steps to hides. There is another entrance with smaller car park a bit further on, paths at that end more on the level to the left of the steep bridge. Toilet (one) - disabled accessible, key is hung on the door jamb.
