Walking trails around Denmark Farm
Enjoy wandering the 3 miles of paths, boardwalks and walking trails set within the 40 acres of nature reserve, guided by our site map and suggested routes.
With amazing biodiversity and a wide range of habitats, you can enjoy exploring, watching, listening, learning and connecting with nature.
Enjoy your ideal walk…
Open 364 days a year (excluding Christmas Eve), and free to use, however donations would be gratefully received.
Starting from the Welcome Shelter in the car park, where you can pick up a copy of our site map, available in both English and Welsh to take with you on your walk, or download a copy to your mobile phone.
These circular trails are designed to showcase the diverse wildlife and natural beauty of the nature reserve.

ROUNDHOUSE ROUTE – 20 minutes, flat, fully accessible.
Follow the solid line marked on the map out of the car park, and alongside the end of the stone building, down the path, past the pond on your left where you can stop and use the wind up speaker to listen to the story of Denmark Farm, straight down the boardwalk to explore the roundhouse, then return down the new boardwalk (not marked on the map yet!).
NEWT ROUTE – 40 minutes, some hills, not fully accessible
Follow the solid line marked on the map out of the car park, and alongside the end of the stone building, down the path and boardwalk, past the roundhouse. Bear left when the path splits to the T-junction at the end, and turn left, back through the woodland, past the bird hide and lake, and back up the slope to the entrance lane where you turn left to get back to the car park.
BUTTERFLY ROUTE – 60 minutes, some hills, not fully accessible
Follow the solid line marked on the map out of the car park, and alongside the end of the stone building, down the path and boardwalk, past the roundhouse. Bear right when the path splits to the T-junction at the end, through Bluebell Wood, and around Molina Marsh and Gorse Field, then alongside Pond Field, and back up past the bird hide and lake, and back up the slope to the entrance lane where you turn left to get back to the car park.
Accessibility & Facilities
The trails are mostly accessible to all, with ramps and boardwalks over the muddiest however some of the paths coming back up from the lake (next to Upper Marsh Field) can become deeply rutted as the pathway gets washed away after heavy rains.
Dogs are welcome around all walking trails, but must be kept on short leads at all times to avoid disturbing the wildlife and habitats. You may see our cattle in some of the fields.
Two compost toilets available at all times, and access to disabled toilet is available on request when the office is open. Please call first to check if someone is on site.
