We know that for many of you, Rye Meads reserve provides enjoyment and solace in the natural world throughout these challenging times. In line with Government guidance on essential, daily exercise outdoors, during #SecondLockdown, our car park, trails and toilets remain open for you to visit. Please follow all current Government guidance around social distancing, who you can visit with, hygiene and follow all signage on-site. We urge you to also follow Government guidance on non-essential travel and please stay local to your nearest reserves and greenspaces.
Our visitor centre and hides, will be closed from Thursday 5 November for the duration of this lockdown. We are also not running events. However, our outdoor, Covid-secure welcome point will be staffed daily from 9am-5pm, where our friendly team will be on-hand to answer questions. We are also offering a delicious selection of take-away drinks and snacks, available from our welcome point. Card payments preferred. We continue to have reduced capacity in the car park and we have introduced passing places on our paths to allow for social distancing.
We continue to ask that all visitors, except those who are exempt from doing so, please wear a face-covering while in our toilets.
