The marvellous Eskrigg Nature Reserve is a great place for watching the native red squirrel. Once widespread throughout the UK, red squirrel numbers have been signifcantly reduced by disease and the competition of their American cousins, the grey squirrel. The reserve is made up of areas of heath, wetland, open water and woodland, supporting a wide variety of organisms. The visitor centre is up from 8am to 5pm in summer and 9am to 4pm in winter.
