Public access, welcoming signs and guide leaflets are now on the gates and these will shortly be improved to cover increased access to Kings Field North.

We are making Kings Field more like Noakes Grove - visitor and child friendly: There is now a bridge berween the two fields at the western end of the reserve so circular tours of both fields, on foot, are now possible. The gate to Kings Field North is at the eastern end of the field near the car parking area. The gate to Kings Field South is usually locked but there is a pedestrian access beside it, giving access to the public footpath and the permissive paths around the sheep pastures King's Field south is a lush meadow now being used as pasture by some of our sheepīoth we and the and owners want to increase the variety of wild flowers in the grassland and we are confident that traditional grazing (and hay-making) will help do this. King's Field north is a grassy meadow with some cricket-bat willow trees.

The farm track with thick hedgerows running south (uphill) from Kings Field South is not part of the reserve and must not be entered (it is dangerous during use by farm machinery).

You may picnic in the reserve but no camp-fires or unauthorised camping.

Please take care and keep your children safe.

Bumpstead Brook (between the two fields) runs deep and fast after heavy rain.You may not enter the enclosure when the sheep are present at Kings Field.At present there is roadside verge parking only. If you arrive by car you must not park on the entrance track or on the concrete bridge: these are in frequent use by agricultural machinery.

Kings Field is now open to visitors on foot Click for Googlemaps directions to Kings Field
