    See the birds in their natural habit (and another family picnic).

    We visited here the first week in August, there were 4 of us: myself; my husband; his mother and our eldest 'child'. We had a fascinating day seeing a lot of wildlife (a deer with her fawn; some swans and other water fowl) as well as various trees and plant life. There were signs telling us what trees we were seeing as well as what animals/birds we might see. We asked and it was suggested we stayed on the main circular path, it was well sign posted. There were some steeper parts to the path which were harder to push up but we managed. Mum's wheelchair does have large pneumatic tyres which makes rough terrain easier to manage. We didn't visit the farm area. The Nature Reserve and parking were free - we did make a donation as we felt they deserved it. Overall we had a good day and I would recommend this venue if you like a walk through the woods looking at birds and wildlife.
