Admission charge: Suggested donation: £4
Facilities: 6 hides, 4 screens. Visitor centre, toilets.

Distances and accessibility: Hides and viewing screens are split into 2 groups to the north or south of the visitor centre with the majority less than half a mile away. The furthest is still less than a mile.
There is a total of 5 miles of rolled gravel paths suitable for wheelchairs and electric buggies. Gates are accessible with RADAR keys. Hides have ramped access, but are not suitable for electric buggies. Benches at regular intervals around the reserve.
