No access to Pallett's Pool car park

Due to damage to the swing bridge at Bull's Lock, the bridge has had to be closed to traffic until further notice.

The impact of this is that access by vehicle to Pallett's Pool and the car park by the river is blocked. Foot access is still available if you park in Hambridge Lane. As soon as the situation changes the club will update members.

Change of Access to Rawlings Retreat and Widmead

To increase security in the area out of hours BBOWT have erected a gate in Muddy Lane, just off Lower Way before the entrance to the main Discovery Centre car park. They are planning to lock the gate each evening and re-open it each morning. The gate has been fitted with one of the NAA keyed locks which all members have a key to allow us 24-hour access. When you access the area if the gate is open please leave it open and if locked please lock the gate behind you. This will also have the benefit of giving our anglers night fishing extra security.
