Please bring binoculars with you and you are welcome to bring a scope if you have one. Dress appropriately for the weather and conditions, including sturdy footwear. Please expect some standing about so dress in warm layers as it can be very cold out on the reserve. Wet weather gear should be brought just in case.
These walks can be tailored to your access needs. Please let us know when booking of any reasonable adjustments you require e.g. the grass paths may not be suitable for wheels so the route taken could remain on the hard standing paths. If you would like to discuss what is reasonably possible before booking, please contact us on ham.wall@rspb.org.uk

Car Parking is available in the large RSPB car park (BA6 9SX) but please note that car parking charges apply to non-RSPB members (£3 all day). RSPB members scan membership cards for free parking. Cycle racks are available near the Info Point in the car park. Our toilets and baby changing facilities are located in the car park near to the Info Point and Catering Kiosk. Our Catering Kiosk serves hot and cold drinks, prepacked snacks and ice creams (see https://www.rspb.org.uk/hamwall for opening times).
