A pleasant nature reserve worth checking out if in the area. Despite the noises from the nearby A50, it is still a calming place with hardly any visitors, and full of wildlife.

A loop around the nature reserve is about 1.5 - 2 miles and there are suggested routes on a board at the entrance.

Car parking can be found at the entrance alongside the road.

Note: most of the paths do not allow dogs.

Nice spot, shame about the noise from the A50.
