Visitors can expect to find babbling streams, mossy crags, sweet smelling pines, and a variety of wildlife at the nature reserve. There are easy strolls by the streams or higher, rockier routes with dramatic views of the reservoirs and the city beyond.
The nature reserve is home to an abundance of wildlife, including common lutestring and northern spinach moths, various bird species such as crossbills, dippers, bullfinches, goldcrests, spotted flycatchers, wood warblers, and pied flycatchers.
People can get involved by participating in practical volunteer days held on a regular basis. Tasks include footpath improvements, habitat management, and vegetation management. Gloves, tools, and refreshments are provided for volunteers.
Individuals or businesses can support the nature reserve through donations, becoming members, or volunteering. Donations help care for the reserve, while membership and volunteering opportunities allow for active participation in conservation efforts.
Visitors can access the nature reserve by taking bus number 51 to Lodge Moor bus terminus or buses 273, 274, or 275 to Manchester Road. From Sheffield city centre, visitors can take the A57 to Fulwood Road and continue onto Manchester Road before turning onto Selbourne Road and Sandygate Road to reach the reserve.
