Access and Permits
A public footpath runs from the end of Weir Lane, along the west side of No.2 bed and the north side of the canal to Thelwall Lane. Access to other parts of the Reserve is strictly limited to permit holders. A permit entitles the holder to visit the Eyes on any number of occasions during the year and to make use of the several hides. Please use this pro-forma when making an application.

The WECG wish to stress to Permit Holders the importance of locking all appropriate gates when entering or leaving the Reserve. The "disappearance" of locks from various sites could lead to insurmountable problems.
Group Visits
In the last few years Woolston Eyes has become a very popular venue for visits by bird watching groups, and in order to cope efficiently with the demand a new procedure has been established. This should enable us to avoid the situation, which has already arisen this year, where several parties arrive on the same day, causing disturbance to the Reserve and congestion and irritation in the hides.
If you wish to book an outing for your group, or bring a party of your bird watching friends to Woolston please write for a booking form to:
Mrs Rosalind Martin, 45 Albert Road, Grappenhall, Warrington, Cheshire,WA4 2 PF, enclosing an SAE.
It is important that at least six weeks notice is given of an intended visit.
A booking fee of £20 is normally charged for groups of up to 10 people. For groups of larger
than 10 visitors, there is an
additional charge of £2 for each visitor above and beyond the "10". A warden would
be available to lead the visitors if so wished (if not, a key must be obtained beforehand
in order to gain access to No 3 bed).
