Hawk & Owl Trust Sculthorpe moor — Attraction in North Norfolk

Brilliant nature reserve for family with teenage kids. Suggested donation of £5 per adult, £2 for loan of binoculars (credit cards accepted), we spent 90mins exploring the 2.6miles of board walk (there and back)(all boarded except the first 400m on a shared track), and 4 large bird hides (chairs facing openable slit windows and illustrated bird guides in each hide, one hide on slits - all accessed via inclined walkways - no steps). Toilets only in visitors centre, nice place to have a packed lunch after with hot drinks purchased from the centre. Large car park. 2 wheelchairs available for use is needed.

The reserve is wheelchair/scooter accessible but the walkways...
