First, parking. It is a contactless payment in the machine, so it is not necessary to rummage into the change, but keep in mind that you will have to pay regardless of when you move if you do not have the membership card. There are about 30 spaces, and for you to know, four of them are reserved for the people who appear in the store. If you have a blue badge, there are three points designated for you, and they are quite close to the Visitors Center, about 20 meters away. Now, the parking lot is gravel, and you can put a bit bustling with the potholes, so look at your passage. If you bring your bike, there are racks near the entrance of the Visitors Center. Only one notice, there is no lighting in the parking lot and there is no adequate place to leave anyone, but hey, at least there is no high restriction for your vehicle.

Do you need the bath? There is an accessible toilet about 10 meters from the entrance of the Visitors Center. And if you have a little girl, the facilities that change the baby are in the same accessible toilet.

If you plan to push a chair, the natural paths are generally fine. There are three partially signed paths: two are approximately 400 m each, and the other is 1.5 km. All are flat without large hills. The main 1.5 km path is intended to be accessible to all. However, only a warning, all paths can get a little flooded if there has been a lot of rain.

For anyone who uses a wheelchair, parking is that gravel surface with potential potholes, so take that into account. When it comes to nature's paths, the same is applied: the three paths are flat without steep pieces, and the main of 1.5 km is all access. But again, they can flood after heavy rains. There are also four picnic banks, and two of them have space for a single wheelchair.

If you need a regular bath, you will find them inside the Visitors Center.

The visitors center itself is open every day from 9:30 am to 5 pm, and parking and trails are open all the time. There are three tickets on the ground floor, with steps and ramps available. The doors open out manually. They have a low counter for membership information, and even have a wheelchair that can borrow if you need it. The interior is everything at a level with a lot of space to move, good lighting and clear information. Some of the things there can be a bit difficult to achieve, but the staff is happy to help. They also have a hearing loop.

Do you feel like a cup or a snack? They have a variety of soft drinks in their store, and try to store sweets or local origin. You can drink hot drinks (adequate bean coffee!), And all kinds of sweet and tasty sandwiches and sandwiches.

The store itself sells things like binoculars and telescopes, books, bird food and gifts.

Only one notice, the picnic area closes temporarily from May 13, and hope to reopen it before May 31. In general, there are four tables outside the visitors center, and two of them have space for a wheelchair. You are welcome to bring your own food and drinks to enjoy when it is open again.

You can also hire binocular from £ 3.

Sometimes they have guided walks, so it can be worth verifying if there is any when visiting.

As for the point of view, most of it is access at the level, but the tower observation area is up at the Visitors Center. There is no elevator, so you will have to climb 23 steps to get there. They also have two skins with seats and two visualization screens, one with seats. Only a note that Aird Meadow Hide is currently closed for maintenance.

Do you remember those paths of nature? The three are partially signed, plans and without large earrings. The main (1.5 km) is all access. You go up through a door, and part of it is a sea walk with places that pass. There are no other doors, steps or heels on the paths, but they can flood after heavy rains.

They have a wild patio, which sounds fun! Oh, wait, says “not available on the site”, so maybe that's something for the future.

It seems that barbecues are also “are not available on the site”, so there are no handles their sausages there.

If you bring your dog, they are allowed on all the paths whenever the Scottish outdoor access code follows. Well -tested dogs are welcome inside the visitors center, but not in the store area. They simply ask you to keep your furry friend in your heel or an advantage to protect wildlife.

And, of course, assistance dogs are welcome in all parts of the reserve.

So there you have it: the scoop of what is available when visiting the Lochwinnoch nature reserve!

Did you register our Mucy shoes? Yes, the roads were a bit dusty, and you know what that means: pollen in abundance! Seriously, the pollen count was out of the lists, it must have been the time of the year we went. We notice many plants there absolutely pollen. In addition, there is a train line quite close to the side of the road, so every time the wind picked up or a train passed, you could see the pollen spinning in the air. Even some pieces of water had a layer, but hey, nature has its own way of doing things, right? However, it is still worth the views.
