Access to Main Hide and Nelson-Lyle for everyone, including mobility scooters. Wellies needed to Lyle, not mobility scooters. Further hides 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.
