Visited the reserve on Tuesday, June 25th hoping to see dragonflies. Instead, I met a wonderful park ranger (I forgot his name) who was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The whole reserve is very well maintained and the ranger has great plans for the future of it. Highly recommended!
Nice spot by the river. Maintained well by the trust:) very good for bird watching note to trust: there are some Himalayan balsam that are invasive so they need to be removed
Great place for walking and bird spotting. If you're lucky you may even see the deer.
A really lovely shaded walk along the river
Such a beautiful place
