Mobility

The walk will involve a walk of about ¾ mile to the reserve that is over a wide but rough path, we then go over a large style to access the reserve.  The reserve itself requires some walking over limestone pavement; this is naturally uneven, slippery when wet and full of potential trip hazards.  The rest of the site is a mixture of rough grasses and gravel. Strong footwear is a necessity.

The site is quite exposed to the elements, there are no toilet facilities on site.
