Last week, Hill Holt Wood put the finishing touches to the viewing platform that they've built for us. This was the installation of our new information panels that interpret the landscape and its wildlife that can be seen from it.
The platform was the first (and largest!) item of the new visitor infrastructure that's being installed on site, prior to it opening to the public this summer.
Hello Ornithologist. Thanks for you interest and apologies for the lengthy delay. After the viewing platform went in, the wet weather experienced in June exacerbated the problems that we had in April. This has meant that we've not been able to get the vehicular access neccessary to finish off the visitor trail. However, conditions have now dried out enough to allow us to get back on site. So, I'm hoping to get the visitor trail open by the end of this month.
Paul, what is the latest estimate of the grand opening?
