Whisby Nature Park
General
Whisby Nature Park is a 150 hectare Local Nature Reserve located c. 7 miles south-west of Lincoln, on Moor Lane directly north of the village of Thorpe on the Hill, and signposted from the adjacent A46. The entrance leads to the Whisby Natural World complex of buildings and car-parks. Parking is charged at a rate of £1 per day (pay and display)between 10.00am and 4.00pm. Early visitors should purchase a ticket if they plan to be on site beyond 10.00am. Binoculars and electric wheelchair 'buggies' can be hired here.
Access
Access through the Nature Park comprises old industrial tracks and clay banks around the former excavations, and the total length approaches 6.5 miles. Around half is hard surface, including virtually all of the routes south of the railway. They are provided with waymarkers of re-cycled plastic, which guide the inexperienced visitor safely around clear one-way routes. Along this network are over 30 seats and 7 bird hides, six adapted for wheel chair access, and a set of seven large interpretation boards explaining the habitats and species to be seen through the seasons.
Dogs
Dogs on leads are welcomed. Thorpe Lake alone is set aside for dogs off the lead, but we consider it best that owners using this facility have a lead available. There are five dog-waste bins around Thorpe Lake to help owners to keep the Nature Park clean.
In order to minimise disturbance to wildlife, there are signs at certain points asking owners voluntarily to restrict their access with dogs. These are at the railway crossing where we ask dog-owners to avoid Magpie Walk and Willow Walk during the breeding season, April-July inclusive; and at the entrances to Willow Walk where we ask them not to enter at any time. A secondary motive here is to provide a dog-free area for those visitors who are uncomfortable around dogs.
You can park at the park free between around 7am-10am also 4pm-9.30pm all other times there is a £1 charge
