Description
Conder Green is at the mouth of the River Conder where it flows out into the River Lune. It is just a short drive away from Lancaster and can be combined with other nearby sites such as Glasson, Cockersands, Pilling or Aldcliffe. The site has a good track record for wader species and waterfowl, with recent rarities and scarcities including Temminck's Stint, Spotted Redshank, Wood Sandpiper, Green-winged Teal, Long-tailed Duck and Short-eared Owl.

Access
The pool is easily accessible from a layby off the A588. There is another car park which can be used for viewing the estuary and walking or cycling along the estuary path. Click on a P in the map for directions. Three sides of the square making the circular walk are on the roadside, with the northern side being a cycle path. CAUTION: The southern and western sides of the walk require walking along a fairly busy road and care should be taken. The layby at Conder Pool and the road to the south of it is liable to flooding during spring tide events.
