Reviews
"Great place for a walk out and to listen nature. Perfect with a packed lunch. Plenty of places to sit and rest or take in the views. We spent a couple of hours and didn’t make it half way round. Kids were enjoying it. Visited over half term and was very quiet. I’d expected to see lots of families but sadly this wasn’t the case. Lots of walkers and bird watchers which was nice to see. Will be back with the lunch bag next time!"
"Great place for a quiet walk while spotting wildlife. Free parking for RSPB members. Be aware that there are no facilities on site but there is a cafe and toilets at Middleton hall not far from the car park, check opening times though as they don't open every day."
"Lovely reserve. Small visitor centre and nearby toilets and shops with cafe (where you can get a discount with RSPB card). Check woods over road across from visitor centre for Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers. Do ask staff on best locations to see birds. Reserve has 2 parts, long straight walk past Heron tree and Rookery. Loads of close up song birds are especially good for young children. After about 15 minutes you cross the bridge to a wall of noise from nesting Black Headed Gulls on the scrapes. There is a hide and look out points. Hopefully you will hear the booming Bittern and countless Warblers. A full walk around the reserve will take a couple of hours. You will need refreshments and good bladder. Well worth it though."
"Middleton lakes is a great place to visit for a few hours. There are plenty of walks to take. It's a brilliant place for children to be children and get dirty and have fun. There is a forest area to build dens and benches dotted all about. When we visited there was wild garlic growing everywhere. There is a cafe and toilets at Middleton hall you can use too."
"Really nice place for a wander, with the chance to see interesting birds too. There are Bittern there, which we heard booming last visit, and always something interesting."
