Beskrivning
The reserve is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and has become important for wildlife due to the wide range of habitats including wet woodland, grassland, open water and river side, which are home to many different types of birds. In 2003 a redundant sewage treatment works on the site was replaced with a new reedbed habitat and a boardwalk which enabled public access with minimal disturbance to wildlife. Bird species found here are rördrom, kungsfiskare, enkelbeckasin, kattuggla, gransångare, gök, backsvala, ladusvala, gråhäger, Smådopping, Sävsparv, woodpeckers and woodland bird species.

Tillgänglighet
The reserve is located west of Bishop Auckland, close to the A68. From the A68 follow the brown signs through the village of Witton-le-Wear, turning right at the Victoria public house. Once over the level crossing, the centre is half a mile along the road on the right. From A689 the reserve is three-quarters of a mile west of High Grange. Entrance to the reserve is free with car parking, but Durham Wildlife Trust suggest a donation of £2.50 for parking for non-Durham Wildlife Trust members. Good access with smooth, wide pathways between the many hides suitable for all mobilities.
