New Year’s Day Walk and Talk

Tuesday, January 1st 2019

Several families enjoyed a guided walk around the whole reserve in the sunshine to celebrate the first day of 2019. The wild ducks on the lake were fed and counted. Many Moorhens and around twenty Mallards enjoyed Ken's special mix of duck feed and corn! Later the children gave the Exmoor ponies a New Year treat of carrots and apples. All four ponies appeared to be in fine fettle!

The group finished off their visit with a well deserved hot chocolate in the Field Centre. Same time next year everyone?!

Happy New Year to all from the Foxglove Team!

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.
