Tips and hints:
Drive or walk to Oxwich Nature Reserve, there is a car parking charge. Look at the map and orientate where you are.
You can access the reserve via the footpath at the entrance to the car park for the beach or at the very front on the east end of the car park, past the toilets.
You can go to each location in any order you like.
Take care to stick to paths, but if you do get lost you can just head for the sea and walk back along the beach.
Dogs are welcome on the reserve but please clean up after them, and take care as there are adders on the dunes.
If you are worried about adders then sing your way around, or bring a stick to tap the ground as you go. Snakes don’t like people so if they hear you coming they will get out of the way.
Why not make your walk even more meaningful by bringing a rubbish bag and doing a litter pick as you go.
Please ensure you stick to social distancing guidelines and government guidance.
Have fun and I look forward to seeing your entries.
