    Hiking

    Low Barns Nature Reserve is a SSSI area of mixed wetland, lake, woodland and wet woodland set around three lakes. It was originally farmland but then used for gravel and sand extraction until the 1960's. It was given to the Durham Wildlife Trust who now manage the area.
    The site is flat with well-maintained paths and boardwalks so it's suitable for everyone. There are several bird hides and a visitor centre with a cafe and toilets.
    Look out for Bitten, Kingfisher, Otter, Stoat and many other species.
