aboutSectionText

An inviting blend of woodland and wetland, Adel Dam offers tranquility and close encounters with wildlife on the north-west fringe of Leeds. It’s been an operational dam, and a central feature of a Victorian garden (there are no fewer than 36 species of high, majestic trees here), but today this reserve is one of the best places in Yorkshire to see kingfishers, enjoy some peaceful downtime, and capture some stunning wildlife photography. The reserve is managed by Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, and can be accessed via Golden Acre Park.

Disabled Access Information for Adel Dam Nature Reserve

disabledAccessText

Permissive route as a circular walk. Easy going level path up until the first hide (Marsh Hide), suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs. The remainder of the circuit is a more natural uneven surface, including steps and narrow points. Boggy areas frequent so keep to path. To access Adel Dam you will need a Radar Key for the entrance gate. The gate opens very wide so all wheelchairs. / mobility scooters can fit through. Only service dogs are allowed in the actual nature reserve as long as they are wearing their service jackets.
