Beautiful and peaceful place; a lovely walk, some information boards and a free guide. There's a visitor centre, but it wasn't open. This place is rather under-marketed; we've been to the Forest many times, but this was our first visit to RSPB Nagshead as we didn't know it existed until I came across it on online.

Very under-rated Forest attraction. This is a lovely reserve which is well worth visiting, even if you're not a bird spotter. Entry, use of the hides, and even car parking are completely free.
