Footpath closure notice ⛔

From week commencing Monday 15 June (date to be confirmed) the footpath through the wet meadow (from the footbridge to the river) will be closed while we have contractors on site.

We're installing 100 metres of board walk, making this area much better under foot in wet conditions.

It's likely it will be closed for the rest of June (roughly 3 weeks) and we'll update once the work is complete. Visitors will still be able to access the river from the path that runs past the hide.
