We loved this site! It was easy to find and when we arrived we were greeted by Cathryn who was very welcoming and her 20+ gorgeous cats! The pitch had stunning views of Scarfell in the distance and was very peaceful with only the soothing sounds of the sheep and cows breaking the silence. The toilet block was immaculately clean and the shower had plenty of hot water. We will definitely stay here again when we visit this part of the country.

Quirky little place, quite hard to find! Also a bit ambiguous when you get there - we couldn't find anyone to check in with so we just pitched up, would have liked to know that when we booked :) facilities seemed OK (we only used the toilets) and there's a drying room. Advise you take fly spray or similar as they are plentiful! All in all a nice little site

When to go
While the nature reserve is a pleasure to visit all year-round, June to September are the best months for seeing wildlife. Spring visitors can enjoy the colorful wildflowers and spot wild kid goats. Summer is filled with the cries of young peregrine falcons and ravens. In fall, the golden brown colors of the bracken and the blooming purple heather provide a beautiful backdrop to the sight of red deer stags roaming around. Hen harriers may be spotted in winter, as well as frogs, toads and newts in ditches and ponds.
Know before you go
- The nature reserve may seem remote, but it’s surprisingly accessible. The closest bus stop is under a mile (1.5 kilometres) away at Palnure.
- There is a visitor center with information about the reserve and its history. It is open 24 hours, year-round and also has wheelchair accessible restrooms.
- Visitors should familiarize themselves with, and take care to follow, the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
