RSPB Highnam Woods

Called for an injured swan both these and the Rspca but neither were open and the Rspca was worse they didnt open until 8 and said to call back at 8 for emergencies it was 6.30 in the morning on an extremely busy road, with multiple schools meaning extreme traffic. Anyway there was a local rescue who answered and came to get him. But took me a long time to find help for him and and at 8 I would have been reporting a death.

Gorgeous woodland featuring a hide. Parking problematic as the car park seems to only be open on weekends (?). We parked in a (frankly disgusting) lay-by/bus stop - marked with a parking P sign - on the main road and walked up. This would of been fine, but we had our 3 year old with us, and therefore had to carry him due to the very narrow path and speed of the road.

As a visitor to the area we were looking forward to an evening walk around the woods,had to park in lay-by on A40 then walk to entrance. Found the paths very rutted, slippery & hard going. Spent my time watching where I was going so couldnt enjoy the landscape or spotting any birds. Sadly didnt enjoy the experience. There was a dog waste bin but many hadnt bothered cleaning up! If the paths were maintained & had wood chip on them it would have been so much better
