Moore Nature Reserve

“Spent a good couple of hours walking the dog here it was nice strolling along listening to the birds. Prepare for muddy feet in the colder winter season and as i do always have a towel for the dog in the car. Lots of little trails to follow and great for kids but be aware near waters even though fenced off some are broken with felled trees etc. Car park small and free but will hold approx 20 cars if parked properly but is very pot holey so if you have a low car be aware , there is a side road that will hold plenty of cars this is better for the low car. It is a nature reserve so has hides and it great for the bird watcher/photographer they have seating and a shelf for your camera while looking out over a big span of water and a good zoom lens is needed to get close ups. P.S. No toilets or cafe at this one.”

“Came here for a Sunday morning walk at about 11 and there was plenty of space in the car park. This place is very big and quite wild - which we really enjoyed. We walked for about an hour and a half and barely saw any other humans. Lots of places to watch birds at the edge of the water and some beautiful flowers in bloom everywhere. Will definitely come back.”

“Lovely quiet place for a walk. Large field, woodland and a reservoir but you can only see the water through a viewing point. We saw a beautiful red butterfly (looked a bit like a peacock butterfly), orange caterpillar and what looked like blue dragon flies We spent about an hour here on a Sunday late afternoon and we only saw one couple across the field walking their dog and a gentleman walking his dog coming out of the woodland path. Very easy to social distance. Car park was closed (we went late July) but you can park round the corner and enter the reserve through the gate opposite the industrial estate. BE WARNED - there are loads of mosquitos near the feeding station and I got bitten 11 times!”

“Lovely trail but poorly maintained. Signage isn't great and we found some signs rotten or missing, which meant we initially missed them. Broken trees hanging over the pathway which could be dangerous if they fall. Lots of narrow paths next to pools of water (in winter), so might not be suitable for younger children. Very muddy in the winter.”
