Branston Gravel Pit Access and Details. (2 Viewers)

Hi. I'm fairly new to birding. I started last year.

After looking around online for new places near me, I found that Branston Gravel Pit has a good number of birds I'm yet to tick off. But I can't seem to find how to get there.

I have limit led mobility and cannot traverse rough terrain very well. I can manage about 1 mile at most over flat ground at a push and if there's somewhere to sit along the way. Is there a route (that's safe to walk comfortably) to get there?

Hi FML. There is a variety of public footpaths which traverse the workings - none are surfaced and all are prone to get muddy/churned up in the rain. In addition there is a need to cross the extraction work access tracks in a number of places. I can't recall many/any seats.

Hi Phil, sounds like it could be difficult for me to get to. Thank you for your reply.
