Don’t forget that the right of public access also comes with a great responsibility to not disturb and to leave nature as you found it. Some reserves are designed for accessibility, while others offer more challenging terrain, perfect for those in search of peace, quiet, and solitude. Each reserve boasts its own distinctive character, and in many places, you’ll encounter real wilderness.

Nature reserves are one of the main ways of protecting our precious countryside. Each reserve is unique and therefore has its own rules for looking after its natural features. The purpose of the nature reserve determines what restrictions apply. When you visit a nature reserve, signs will tell you what rules you have to follow are.
