2.1.4 Pathways
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.
