A few years ago, this reserve was renown as one of the northerly sites where Nightingales could be heard and seen. Sadly no mor, however, the reserve will be alive with returning migrants with a good chance of seeing many of them including the elusive Garden Warbler and Lesser Whitethroat. There’s also a large visitor’s centre with café and seating outside for those that bring their own sandwiches
Walking is flat and straight forward.
After lunch, there’s the opportunity to return home via RSPB Langford Lowfields. Located about 3 miles north of Newark on the A1133 (NG23 7QL).
