Accesso
There's a car park just off Stanpit next to Stanpit Recreation Ground, from where the reserve can be accessed on foot (BH23 3LX ). Wilts and Dorset operate bus routes X1 and X2 to and from Stanpit. Dogs can be freely exercised on the Recreation Ground (not part of the reserve), but must be on leads within the reserve, at all times. The paths are well made and wheelchair accessible; there are signs restricting access to certain areas.
After heavy rain, the paths may be flooded, so wellies are recommended.
