If you are in to your wildlife this place is truly worth a visit. A walk around kilometres of paths through reed beds delivered views of Marsh harrier, egrets, Reed bunting etc. A short walk to the railway Inn for a pint and then back for the evening finale of a starling murmuration (winter only) with birds numbering into the 100s of 1000s. Perhaps one of the last great wildlife experiences of the UK.

Brilliant place to visit. Big car park who CG is only £3 or free for RSPB members. Lots of trails long and short and always birds around. Highlight has to be the starling murmurations. Just incredible.

Beautiful stunning place! This was our first visit but will certainly not be our last. We had a fantastic talk by an RSPB representative before entering the park. Then whilst walking around we were lucky enough to see deer, marsh harriers, egrets and even heard an otter. All of this and the car park is only £3. They have clean toilets and a great reception area where they grow their own plants from the marsh peat. Well worth a trip.

What a wonderful reserve,
The carpark was spacious & there was a coffee stall & toilets.
Non RSPB members are asked to pay parking.
A picnic area also near the carpark.
The reserve has lots on offer the main track is relatively easy to walk.
There are trails & more adventurous paths. Along the main track are viewing areas with seating & they were brilliant.
We saw lots of birds including Marsh Harriers, Buzzards,
A lovely day out

Great location with ample parking, small shop with refreshments
etc. and toilets.
Friendly staff onsite are very helpful.
The site is well maintained and the hides are well maintained and well situated, walking is generally flat with good access and visibility. Recommended.

Stumbled on this place by accident and so glad we did. Perfect place to go have a walk and enjoy the quiet sound of nature and lovely scenery. The staff there are so friendly and tell you all about the reserve. There is a little gift shop and a shop selling refreshments also toilets.

A large nature reserve with a range of hides and well managed paths through the wetland environment. There is a very wide range of birds to spot as well as otters and other wildlife. It’s a beautiful place and really accessible for everyone. Great views of Glastonbury Tor in the distance too!

I was amazed this was free entry and only a nominal £3 for parking all day.

It's a wonderful place for a walk with large and small hides to view the birds. Binoculars are needed for seeing the birds and there are useful information signs displaying a picture of the birds and what they are. I certainly needed the signs as there were so many different types of birds.

Beautiful place , lovely staff ( Clarke) who was knowledgeable and friendly . Lots of paths flooded at the moment but plenty of places to sit and watch the birds including Marsh Harriers

Such a beautiful nature reserve with some stunning views of the meadows, especially if you go at certain times of the day with the sunset or sunrise. Paths are well maintained and the site is full of nature. Lots of great spots for nature photography and lots history. Car parks aren't free. Great place for cycling too as the main path runs along an old railway track. Definitely will come back, not far from Glastonbury if you're in the area.

I went to see if there was a murmuration. Arrived 45 minutes before sundown and had the place to myself - fabulous! The starlings didn't let me down...I think it's going to be a bumper winter!

Absolutely worth a visit. We've been for walks plus have come to watch the starlings. Each time the staff have been friendly and welcoming. There's a parking charge if you aren't a member. Public toilets. And a little shop. It's a great starting point for all sorts of walks.

A really lovely place to visit, with informative and helpful staff.
A good walk around the pools and lots of interesting birds to see.
From one of the hides a great view across the water to Glastonbury Tor!
Worth a visit (make sure you take a picnic though).

Reserve is well laid out, plenty of hides, and a wide variety of wildlife to view and photograph. Site is mostly accessible via laid paths, there is some rough terrain and one of the paths was flooded. Well worth a visit.

Excellent wildlife ( birds/dragonflies etc) in the wetlands of Somerset.
Paths lead to viewing platforms which are covered. Plenty of opportunity to photograph many and varied species.
Large car park, which is cheap to use.
