Summer Leys Nature Reserve, Wollaston

Great 2 mile walk around the lake. Lots of hides scattered around the Nature Reserve, so you can observe the birds and wildlife at a distance. When I came here before, the car parking was free. Now its £4.00 minimum. You can only get here by car, so the captive parking fee is outrageously expensive. Add it to the list of things such as gas, electricity, food, petrol that are going through the roof. If parking was still free, this nature reserve would get 5 stars. The car park does have provision for disabled parking. There are portaloos if you need a toilet, and there is the Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire Wildlife Trust Porta cabin where you can join the Trust and they also serve refreshments.

Amazing walk around the lakes seeing wildlife. Need to go back, it is quite pricey to park. But if it keeps it less tourist heavy and keeps the animals happy.
