Reviews of Potteric Carr Nature Reserve
"£5 per adult to enter surprised us as we didn't know what to expect it was a last minute decision to visit. There is a welcoming visitors centre with cafe and toilets. They have a selection of marked walks around the Reserve for different lengths with a free map. The paths around the Reserve are good with plenty of hides along the way. We saw the konik ponies too which are always lovely to see. Not much bird activity due to time.of year/day we went. Had a lovely long walk all around. No dogs allowed on the reserve which may put some off."
"Great for bird spotters. Also saw pony's and wild deer. About 5 miles in paths around lakes and marshes. Entry of bird hides to use. Nice cafe with some hot snacks available. Tickets £5 for adults, £4 for over sixtys. Members free."
