A delight to visit whatever the time of year, the reserve includes the largest oakwood in the south of Scotland and a meandering section of the River Cree. In spring the wood is carpeted with bluebells and alive with the sound of bird song, as residents are joined by redstarts, pied flycatchers and garden warblers.
By the river you may see gooseander and common sandpiper, with teals, snipe and water rails in the riverside meadows. In the autumn whooper swans and goldeneye arrive from the arctic. A raised platform gives good views out over the river where otter are often seen. Nature trail mile Guided walks.
