Sculthorpe Moor Nature Reserve — Attraction in North Norfolk

What a fantastic place, all of the paths are either well maintained gravel or wooden boardwalks, with signposts at all junctions giving the distance to the next hide or viewing area and time to walk to them. The hides are superb, very well done out inside and most have pull up - pull down windows, good seating is provided. When I went on the Friday before the August bank holiday it was quite overcast but I needed to stop on my way home from a week away, this place provided the perfect place to unwind and take a relaxing stroll, popping into the various hides with the binoculars and camera in case anything came in view. I saw a few muntjac deer, a red kite, a few buzzard, robins, black caps, lizard's, dragon flies and so much more, unfortunately no kingfisher, but a young lady had seen it prior to chatting.

The suggested donation was £10 and personally I would have paid double. Well worth a visit if you find yourself in the area. The nice lady in the shop was very informative and passed on where certain birds had been sighted and she gave me a copy of the map to...

Mmmmm???

We went to Sculthorpe Moor and nature reserve, and we noticed that it was donation based, no issue.

Well, we went to enter, and I got told by the customer service advisor that I had to donate, I replied that I would give my donation on the way out as then I could give either more or less than the suggested amount dependent on experience etc

No I wasn't allowed to do that, I had to donate before entry.

I asked were the donations compulsory? I then got told that they needed to register the donations/numbers for fire reasons? (Explain that)

So I asked again if entry was dependent on a compulsory donation, she said yes!

Well I said if it's a compulsory donation then it's an entrance fee and should state so! We left.

The English language states that a donation is voluntary, not compulsory,

I am sure Sculthorpe Moor is a lovely place and well worth a visit BUT be prepared to pay the compulsory dontion/...

Wow, this morning was questioned are we disabled and that the disabled parking is for people in wheelchairs. I actually have a blue badge and so does my daughter but I’m used my daughters this morning. The woman on the desk was extremely rude, made no apology for speaking to me like a piece of rubbish while questioning disabilities in front of my registered disabled daughter!. Absolutely apppaled. Further to my disabled daughter being treated appallingly and being told that disabled parking is for wheel chair users. This in its self is exlusion of the disabled and discrimination. We went into the shop to give the woman a chance to apologise and she ignored us. When we then went to get in our car, my daughter witnessed her stand at the window clapping with a smiling face. Didn’t think she was capable of smiling! This has caused immense anger, stress and upset. I won’t be...
