Dancersend Nature Reserve: the cradle of nature conservation

Walk guide: Mick Jones MBE

Gentle walk exploring how a fairy-tale Victorian pumping station and its wildlife refuge inspired the nature reserve movement.

Important : A gentle-paced walk with frequent stops, suitable for anyone with reasonable mobility, featuring some uphill and downhill sections, one flight of steep steps, and uneven, potentially slippery ground throughout, so sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing are essential.
