Small urban nature reserve, great for wandering or wildlife watching!
This is a great little nature reserve if you live locally or find yourself in the area. I've done it in a mobility scooter and it should be doable in a wheelchair, but you'll want to look at the photos to see the terrain.
There are two different sides to the plot and it joins up in the middle. In brief:
- The south west side (on Google maps this is the square actually labelled "Logan's Meadow") is a playing field with a wetland area with board walks. (You have to cross the grass to get to the boardwalks.) The access is via a ramp from Riverside Bridge / Pie Bridge.
- The north east side of the plot has tarmac paths around a block of meadow / long grasses. It is level access from the end of Pepys Court although bumpy and you have to go through a narrowish gate.
It's a great area for a wander or for a bit of nature spotting. There's a swift tower, wetland section, and lots of long grasses. Lots of bird and wildlife activity. In the past I have come here to do the RSPB Big Garden Bird Watch and Butterfly Conservation's Big Butterfly Count. You also get some views of the river, and better ones if you go up onto the bridge.
Heads up that this site is a flood plain. If there's flooding in the city Logan's Meadow may end up very marshy or underwater!
There are usually dog walkers here.
Last time I came, I also visited the Kerb Kollective cafe which is just over the bridge from Logan's Meadow. I left a review for the cafe on Euansguide too.
