If you’re a keen nature spotter, or just fancy somewhere peaceful to get away from it all, the Wetlands Nature Reserve is the perfect place. The Wetlands Trail is a surfaced, circular route and is approx. 1.2 miles, starting on the meadow at the back of the Forest Centre and travelling around the Pillinge. There are 3 regular hides along the Trail, overlooking the beautiful reedbeds and the sand martin wall on the Pillinge, and the Tower Hide and Woodland Walkway which gives panoramic views across the Vale. All hides are wheelchair accessible.

All 4 bird hides will be open from Tuesday 18th May 2021 - please sanitise your hands before and after using the hide, maintain social distancing and wear a face covering if there is more than one person in the hide. Please make sure that you are still keeping the recommended distance of 2 metres between yourself and others (not from your household) when out in green spaces.
