There is a short, steep hill on the reserve. Toilets are available at the cafe and nearby RSPB Fairburn Ings visitor centre a short drive away, but there are plenty of ‘natural’ facilities.

What to wear May can be difficult to assess in terms of temperature so bring plenty of layers and waterproof clothing. Please don’t wear jeans as they will wick moisture from low growing vegetation. Bring a waterproof coat, over-trousers and sturdy, waterproof boots. Scarf, gloves, hat and sunscreen may be needed and it’s a good idea to carry insect repellent.
