Following the recent heavy rains, an Environment Agency Flood Alert has been issued for our section of the river Ouse. Water levels are rising rapidly and several parts of the reserve are now cut off.

We have therefore had to make the decision to close the Holywell Lake car park and the Coucher Hide at Moore Lake. The paths that are currently impassable include the path leading to the hide and the Busway cycletrack to the north of Moore Lake.

Currently, the Elney Lake car park is still open and good views of wildlife can still be had from here and at Far Fen Lake, but please take care if visiting the site.

We will update this post, if there are any further developments.
