Heavy rain

Monday, November 30th 2009

The heavy rain has had its effects at Foxglove just as everywhere else. Here you can see the normal few inches depth of Risedale Beck has been turned into a torrent.

Risedale Beck

The water comes along so fast it can sweep large logs and stones along in its path.

The weir

The lake is also very high and the water is surging over the weir like a miniature High Force!

Foxglove Covert Local Nature Reserve is now OPEN

Monday 4th November 2024 |

The security gate and it's safety features are to be working, so we're reopening to the public.

However the intercom and remote gate opening system is currently non-functional. Entry and exit to the reserve will therefore take place via key fobs which will be issued to visitors when they sign in at the Cambrai Lines front entrance. These fobs can be used to open the gate when entering and exiting the reserve. They must be returned to the front entrance pass office upon exiting the reserve.

Please note access will be limited by the number of fobs available. You may therefore be turned away at the pass office if all fobs are in use at that time. Please only collect one fob per visiting group and ensure you enter and exit the reserve together.

Please check the FAQs for further information on entrance procedures.
