Access to Main Hide and Nelson-Lyle and Lyle for everyone, including mobility scooters. Wellies needed to Friends, not mobility scooters. Reedbed hide and Gill's Lookout to come as water levels continue to drop. Lady Fen trails are closed now until after breeding season, but great views from cafe veranda. All roads open and accessible.
