This wetland site at the north end of Bassenthwaite Lake is a great place to see wetland flora and fauna. This seven hectare site also helps protect the water quality of Bassenthwaite Lake and reduce the impact of flooding. Water flows slowly through the reserve so sediments are deposited here rather than in Bassenthwaite Lake and flood water is slowed down on its journey through the catchment.

There is a level path around the reserve including 900m of boardwalk made out of recycled plastic cartons. The path is ideal for pushchair and wheelchair access and those with limited mobility and allows you to get closer the variety of wildlife the site has to offer.

There are two shelters on the site constructed from traditional materials. Parking is available nearby and the Osprey Bus makes stops at the reserve. There are no toilets on site. The Pheasant Inn is located 200m from the site which serves food and refreshments.
