Peatland, reedbeds and shallow pools offer intimate wildlife and waterscape scenes: wading birds, skylarks, reflective pools and atmospheric mist. Best at dawn and dusk for golden light and bird activity; autumn/winter yields low sun and fog. Flat boardwalks make much of the reserve accessible; parking available near Westhay village and small RSPB/Somerset Trust car parks. No entry fee; bring waterproofs and insect repellent in summer. Weekday mornings are quieter.
