Although visitors
are provided with good opportunities to view the site, access onto
the bog itself is very limited and the status of access provisions
could therefore be considered as unfavourable. The bog can be
reached by means of a very narrow boardwalk thai is suitable only
for reasonably fit people. It allows no access for people with any
soil of mobility problems. The boardwalk is; accessible to permit
holders only, which actively deters people from visiting and gives
the impression that members of the public are not generally
welcome. There is no seating or shelter on the bog, which can
discourage people from setting out.
The car park is not
easy to see or access from the road and it can be full at peak
times, preventing potential visitors from gaining access to the
reserve. The lack of information in the car park makes it difficult
for visitors to plan their visit. There is very little opportunity
for people to visit the reserve other than by car.
