Access

There is a car park down a long lane called Leys lane, just off of New road near Kirk smeaton. The car Park is small so you may need to park on Leys lane its self, when the carpark is too busy. You are best walking as oppose to cycling the area, due to some small footpaths, steep terrain, as well as a number of gates/stiles. There are maps and boards in the car park. Just walk at your leisure and get lost in this site, exploring the different habitats and the birds that call them home.
