Small, botanically rich boggy-meadow reserve that can be combined with a longer walk across neighbouring Catherton Common.

✓ Nature reserve✓ Dogs on leads✓ Boggy ground✓ Free entry
Dogs must stay on leads because grazing animals and ground-nesting birds are present. Access involves roughly half a mile on tracks from Catherton Gate car park and can be wet and uneven.

Accessible walk planning

Guidance for blind and partially sighted visitors

What to expect

The available route information mentions rough or uneven ground, muddy, wet or boggy ground and livestock or grazing animals. Treat these as planning points and check the current conditions before visiting.

Check before setting out

Use the official source to confirm the entrance, parking, path closures, gates, steps, stiles, unprotected edges, toilets and any tactile or audio wayfinding. Conditions can change after wet weather or maintenance work.

If you visit with an assistance dog, check current land-manager guidance, especially where livestock, wildlife or seasonal dog restrictions are mentioned. Share the route details with a companion if that is useful to you.

Know before you go

Confirm the current opening hours, any booking requirements and the specific areas your dog can use. A dog-friendly listing is not a promise of access to every part of a venue.
