Car
park
The small lay-by car
park provides space for about eight cars but has no facilities. Of
22% of visitors wanting improvements to existing services this
primarily related to the car park, while the 19% of visitors
wanting new facilities mainly required toilets (Scott et al.
1998).
Observation
tower
There is an
observation tower about 1.5 km to the north of the car park. This
acts as a bird hide and also gives spectacular views across the
bog, but it is due to be demolished for safety reasons. The hide is
used by 35% of visitors, which is possibly a reflection of the high
number of people with a specialist interest in birds (Scott et al.
1998).
Recreational
activities
Activities on the
site are limited to quiet enjoyment, which includes walking,
cycling and birdwatching.
