We honestly believe that our nature reserve is one of the most beautiful places to visit in East Devon. This page contains visitor information and details on the nature reserve. Please note that in the interests of not upsetting the wildlife, dogs are not permitted.
Opening times & entry fees
Admission to Ratty’s Tea Room is free but if you wish to explore the Nature Reserve and Wild Gardens, there is a charge of £6 for adults and £3 for children payable at the tea room.
Please check the Events page to make sure that we aren’t closed when you visit, as we do occassionally host private functions.
Map of the nature reserve
We have a map of the reserve itself available on this page.
Accessibility
Although the site varies considerably in altitude, the banks are shallow and should be suitable for the elderly. There are benches dotted around the site in convenient and scenic places. The only consideration should be that after spells of wet weather the ground can become slippery or muddy – a precautionary telephone call is a good idea if you’re worried!
Facilities
In addition to the fantastic tea rooms at the top of the site, there are several picnic benches, first aid equipment, a toilet and a car park which is not supervised.
