This unique wetland site on the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake is not only one of the county’s best havens for wetland flora and fauna, but will help protect the water quality of Bassenthwaite Lake by offering natural floodwater storage and by depositing silt and nutrients before the water can enter the lake.

The 17 acre Access for All site has 900m of boardwalk (made out of recycled plastic), 600m of compact Honister stone path and is open and waiting for your visit! The layout and curves of the Access for All boardwalk take you on a tour through the beautiful wetland, and the character and construction of the different shelters really gives the site a rustic and fairytale appeal. You may spot the family of deer who have taken up residence, and if you don’t see the different birds species, you will definitely hear them!
