If you are planning to visit to see the starling roost during this time please be aware that over Christmas and New Years is when we see the highest visitor numbers. Our car park has limited spaces available for visitors - please do not be surprised if we have to turn you away due to reaching our site capacity. Please do not park on the road – be considerate of our neighbours and the need for emergency vehicle access at all times. If the car park is full or closed, then the site is at capacity - please return to visit the roost another day or choose a different roost to visit. For more information on visiting the roost please see this link: https://bit.ly/HMWStarlings2122
Travel Somerset have announced that from 4 January – 1 April the road between the reserve and Ashcott will be closed. This means that access to the reserve will only be from the Meare side. For further details and diversion route please visit the Travel Somerset website at this link:
