Access and Facilities
To find Wood Lane Nature Reserve take the Colemere road (including a brown sign pointing towards Colemere Sailing Club) off the A528, 2km south-east of Ellesmere at the Spunhill crossroads. The car park is ¾ mile down on the right. Top car park is often closed and locked, but the second car park - easy to miss - is usually open.
Woodlane is open to the public but if you would like to access the hides, you will need to fill in an application form to apply for a free permit. Forms can be downloaded from the Wood Lane website or send an email requesting a form to the Shropshire Wildlife Trust (see links below).
All ability access from the car park takes you around the reserve.
