Great walks, let down by some dog walkers who think it's okay to let their dogs foul on the path. Majority of dog walkers you can see are responsible and have poo bags. Some people though love the beauty of it, then let their dogs foul behind them. Dog-friendliness: Great for walking the dog. Poo bins provided at the start and the end of the walk between car park and the pub.

Lovely space for dog walking and spotting birds, very quiet brown field site. Some paths have just been destroyed/ made very muddy (dec 22) by tracked vehicles, but they can be avoided

4 stars is a bit generous but I guess there are extenuating circumstances. At the time of our visit there was evidence of multiple fires around the site that seemed to have been started deliberately. We met a nice chap who showed us a video he made of an extensively burnt area with portable BBQs at the centre. I think if you are interested in nature it would usually be a good place to go for that reason but as far as nature areas go it is not fantastically managed, not the most beautiful place to visit. Even with many damaged areas we saw plenty of common blue butterflies, a Holly blue, a small copper, some speckled wood, as well as a peacock, small whites and a single meadow brown. Graylings and Glanville fritillaries (earlier on in the year) are known to be present usually but we saw none of the former alas. If you are a hardened nature lover a good place to visit when it hasn't been half destroyed, but not the most beautiful. Entry is free, there is a reasonable sized carpark. There are no amenities, no presence from those maintaining it. I think they lock it up at 5pm.

It needs a little TLC, but has the making of a lovely place to visit. You can visit the Riverside, but unless you retrace your steps it is not easy to re-enter the Wick.
