Sunday 17th August: I wouldn't describe this as a nature reserve, more a forgotten project that was planted with a small orchard in the hope no one would mind they surrounded it in residential buildings. The access stated on the web is not accessible, there are houses and no parking there. Access is from Selby road, and only adequate space for two cars on waste ground, bearing in mind not to block access for the land owner to the adjacent field. This cannot be a managed site, dont waste your time and find somewhere else. Very dissapointing visit here.

Beautiful place for a dog walk, with a very convenient boardwalk, picnic tables, benches, and views. Fairly easy parking in nearby roads, and a circular walk that doesn't take too long.

Nice little walk for kids. Easy to walk to from Howden town centre or the Ashes park.
