The old railway
track provides a well-maintained and well-surfaced route along the
eastern edge of the reserve, allowing a walk of just under 5 km. It
is easily reached from the lay-by car park and is suitable for
wheelchair users. Although it gives excellent views across the
site, it does not allow any access out onto the bog
itself.
A narrow boardwalk
across the bog gives access to the riverside walk, which loops back
to rejoin the railway track, covering a distance of about 7 km.
Although it is well maintained, the boardwalk is very narrow,
allowing only single file walking, and is not suitable for people
with mobility problems. The boardwalk is open to permit-holders
only, with about 100 permits being issued per year.
