*Cancelled*Friday Adventure to Idle Valley

This reserve consists of a beautiful 450 hectare network of lakes, wetland, grassland and scrub. It is home to a diverse range of wildlife and is recognised as one of the richest birding sites in the region. Look out for birds such as gadwall and little grebe in winter and breeding wading birds including little ringed plover and redshank in spring and summer.

At this time of year the extended routes are very muddy, so be prepared with a spare pair of shoes!

This walk is flat, but the challenge is in the terrain which varies with the seasons.

Distance: 4-5 miles
