Visiting our nature reserves
We favour public access to our nature reserves on foot, for quiet enjoyment of the wildlife and countryside. This is not always possible, for reasons including health and safety concerns or the need to protect fragile habitats. Restricted access and permit only reserves are clearly designated online and in the Nature Reserves Guide.
Dogs are permitted on most of our nature reserves, however, owners are reminded that dogs can cause significant disturbance to wildlife and livestock. Dogs must be kept under close control at all times and owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets.
Please follow the Countryside Code:
- Be safe, plan ahead and follow any signs
- Leave gates and property as you find them
- Protect plants and animals and take your litter home
- Keep dogs under close control
- Consider other people
