Ogden Water Nature Reserve reveals phased opening plan

Car parks at the site are back open closing at 8pm and there is access to the site.

No cycling, barbecue and open fires will be allowed anywhere on the estate.

Community Safety Wardens and Police will continue to patrol and visit the site to ensure social distancing.

Posting on its Facebook Page Ogden Water Nature Reserve has issued the following advice

Time your visit to avoid busy periods (weekends and early evening).

If the car park is full , do not park on Ogden Lane, or block in the residents that live in the area.

Keep dogs on a lead to avoid contact with others around the reservoir side (they should be okay to run free in the woodlands but keep under control)/

Please pick up after your dog and put all litter in bins to help our staff keep the place tidy.

Toilets or the visitor centre will remain shut.

On the reservoir side walk people should observe a clockwise route (that means heading across the dam first then walking around) and keep a two metre distance

You can walk either way on the woodland trail as there should be space to pass or you can step off the path where safe to do so.
