Well worth a walk round Wyken Pool although the Slough side can be boggy after a couple of rainy days.

Nice walk around this nature reserve area offers nice views, duck feeding opportunity and a safe place to take your kids cycling. Howrver, dogs are not kept on leash and people dont pick up after their dogs. Sometimes it can be horrendous to come across dog dumps.

Lovely nature walk in aldermans green, ideal for Sunday mornings. Can cross the road amd head down into Longford park too. We stop off at either aldermans green chippy or maddys sandwich shop for a cheeky lunch after our family dog walks.

Great for dog walkers or nature lovers. It's January at the time of posting so wellies were required. Can't wait to see it in the spring and summer!

I really like Wyken Slough, any day of the year there are birds to be fed. I often see rare birds perched on logs protruding from the large pond. There are benches all a long the circumference of the pond, which allows for pit stops if needs be. The best part about this place, is the forraging. There is plenty to forrage, in the winter I was able to make jam from fresh damsons, bullace, rosehips, sloes and apples. If you venture into the overgrown trails beyond the pond, there is plenty to forrage and explore. I often see the odd burnt out abandoned motorcycle or trolley in bushes lol. Another good thing. is there are Horses to look at, you aren't allowed to feed them but if you go to the fence they will come and say hello. There are two distinct downsides to Wyken Slough, One: If you make the mistake of going during school pickup hours, the car park is absolutely packed and it's hard to get in or out, also people are all irritable. The only other issue, is youths on motorbikes and quad bikes like to use the field behind the pond as their track, when it rains you can see oil come up from the ground, in all the puddles. Not to mention the risk of anti-social behavior, although any sign of the police seems to make them leave. 4/5 :)
