Sculthorpe Moor Nature Reserve

About Sculthorpe Moor Nature Reserve

This popular reserve is fully accessible via its well-kept boardwalks and accessible hides.

Sculthorpe Moor Nature Reserve is run by the national charity, Hawk and Owl Trust which was founded to conserve and protect wild birds of prey.

With 7 accessible hides, all aspects of the reserve can be enjoyed by visitors. Bird watchers and wildlife enthusiasts will be able to look out for a wide variety of species as the seasons change including Wading Birds, River Flies, Beavers, Otters and birds of prey (including Hawks and Owls!).

Wildflower surveys at the reserve have noted remarkable species over recent years such as Bog Pimpernel, Early Marsh Orchid and Marsh Lousewort. Throughout the year a number of events are held including guided walks and educational talks. An example of topics covered includes wildflowers, butterflies and moths, dragonflies, fungi, wildlife photography and family events like pond dipping in our wildlife pond.

Unfortunately, they do not allow dogs belonging to members of the public (except for assistant and guide dogs) on the nature reserve.

Accessibility Information:
Ongoing projects at the reserve have created an abundance of accessible boardwalks and spaces meaning everyone can come and enjoy Sculthorpe Moor.

Buggies, wheelchair and mobility scooter users can enjoy the wide pathways and ramps into our hides. The Dragonfly and wetland hide grant lower level windows that people with wheelchairs can comfortably seat themselves at.
