Getting around

The reserve is on the west side of the B2026 between Maresfield and Hartfield, about a third of a mile north of the junction with the B2188 at Kings Standing. Access is directly from the small car park. There is a well-marked nature trail which leads around most of the reserve. There are steep slopes and wide unsurfaced paths and steps at the entrance to this 76 hectare nature reserve.
Dogs must be kept on a short, fixed lead, between 1st January till 30th September and when livestock are present.
