Access

The reserve is located about 400 metres upstream from the toll bridge and the site extends to about 10 hectares. It is bounded on two sides by the river Derwent, by Nutwood to the west, and by fields to the north. Walk from the Toll bridge over the river Derwent in Darley Abbey. Walking is the only way to explore the reserve. For the closest parking place see the P on the map.
