Mobility

We aim to make our sessions as accessible as possible and are happy to make reasonable adjustments to ensure as many people as possible can enjoy them. Cambourne Nature Reserve has flat, accessible paths, however, since we will be walking at night, you will need to be comfortable navigating the paths in the dark. Please contact us to discuss your accessibility needs.

What to bring

Please be prepared for cool weather. Long-sleeves and long trousers will protect against bites, stings and scratches. You will need sturdy footwear and a torch (we have some spare in needed).

Parking information

The car park is open to the public, it is usually quiet but spaces cannot be guaranteed. Please consider parking at Morrisons nearby (this is the closest toilets)
