Natural England

General information

This is a Facebook page specifically for National Nature Reserves -
visit these special sites to experience England's varied wildlife in some of our most unique and stunning landscapes. For all other Natural England information, please contact enquiries@naturalengland.org.uk

Look out for Natural England's Reserve staff or volunteers, who will be pleased to help or advise you.

Many reserves have an events and walks programme running throughout the year. These offer the chance to learn about the special wildlife of the area, marvel at the views over valleys, heaths or beaches and get fit! Some reserves run special children's events throughout the school holidays and weekends.

Natural England promotes ‘access for all.' We believe in opportunities for everyone, including visitors with physical disabilities or special needs. However, many NNRs, by their very nature, are difficult to access due either to their remoteness, rugged terrain or the fragility of their habitats.

We ask you to please follow the Countryside Code and respect any requests not to stray into sensitive habitat areas. Please control dogs who may disturb wildlife and ground nesting birds.

Please help to prevent the spread of invasive species and plant diseases by brushing off or washing boots and equipment at the reserve and making sure dogs and cars are free of plant debris. If you come into contact with water, please check, clean and dry any equipment.

Please be aware that most sites do not have visitor facilities, although usually there are local amenities. Please be mindful of and dress for the weather. Above all, please do enjoy your visit!
