    This nature reserve is small (you can walk from one end to the other in 10 minutes), but still a quiet, beautiful spot. Cows / sheep and many kinds of birds and insects and things live here in the small fields. There's a dirt path for most of it, with raised wooden platforms over the wet parts. You should be able to push someone in a wheelchair over these but anyone pushing themselves may struggle to get up onto the raised sections. The area surrounding the nature reserve is great for walks too (we walk from the canal, down a track used by a nearby farm, along the path bordering the reserve, through the orchard, then through the nature reserve and back to the canal), it's all peaceful and a nice escape from the bustle of the town.

    Brilliant, a very nice walk on good footpaths with good raised walkways in the flooded sections.

    Basically a path round a field with a sign. Not worth a visit unless you are local on the way to somewhere else or a dog walker. Didn't see the ponds. Saw 2 ladybirds. Took longer to pack the picnic than the walk.

    Excellent conservation area to walk and take in the views.

    A great place to wander around, I ended up taking the route on a whim and I wasn't disappointed there were some really great views to be had, it was a little bit grey and cloudy, I can imagine on a sunny day the views would be stunning.

    Superb area for a walk! It's big enough to feel like you're in nature and the different paths offer unique gems of scenery. There are some benches for those who would like to have a outdoor lunch. My only if wish is to see more animals.

    A lovely place to wander for an hour with some lovely views of countryside and castle. Great place to spot the local wildlife too. Sweet little orchard also.

    Great nature reserve to.have a walk. There's no cycling, which is good, and dogs should remain on the lead.
