The valley's always worth a visit you can park in Tanhouse avenue and walk on to the reserve, or you can park on Forge Mill or swan pool both car parks pay and display.

Had my first visit today, brilliant. Plenty to see.
Yes parking is available, the Tanhouse lane entrance was closed today, it says on the website thats the case on Mondays. There is parking available at the other entrance, which is better as it gives better acsess to both Swan pool and the others. Also there is work going on at the Tanhouse lane entrance.I did just park on the road though.
Enjoy your visit Chrissy

RBA states 4+ Common Scoter flew over the Valley yesterday, but only 2 mentioned for Forge Mill Lake. Any knowledge of the fly overs?
