Habitat
Much of the land is now semi-natural, secondary vegetation, typically scrub or woodland.
Look out for common woodland species and bats, including the pipistrelle and brown long-eared bat. You may also hear tawny owls in several locations along the trailway.

Dogs must be on a short lead when livestock is near and during the bird breeding season from 1 March to 31 July. At other times dogs must be under close control.
Make sure you follow the rules in our nature reserves.
