Walk: Early bird ramble
4:20pm Friday 4th July 2008
p>Leighton Moss is England’s largest reed bed. It is located in a delightful wooded valley, its limestone floor covered with marine clay, overlaid with peat. Water from the surrounding hills drains into the valley and forms three main meres. About these grow the extensive reed beds which have to be controlled to prevent them encroaching upon the open water. The RSPB visitor centre has several bird-watching hides, overlooking the shallow meres, from where you might see bearded tits, marsh harriers, see or hear bitterns, and many more. Four of the hides are accessible to disabled visitors. The public hide gives you a welcome pause near the end of this walk. Park in the large car park opposite the Visitor Centre, grid ref 477751. If approaching from Kendal or Lancaster, the Visitor Centre is well signposted from the A6. There are good bus connections close to Silverdale train station or, of course you could take the train. The station is very close to the centre.
