Due to the icy weather we've taken the difficulty decision to close the the reserve for today. The paths are incredibly icy and whilst our team are out gritting it's just not safe for our visitors to be out on the reserve.

The Visitor Centre, cafe, shop and Phil Stead Hide are open as usual but there is currently no access to the rest of the reserve.

We'll keep you updated with what happening and we expect to be at least partially open for Yarn Bombing tomorrow.
