VISITING THE RESERVE
From Whitburn, take the A706 south. Shortly after you reach Longridge, turn left onto the B7015 towards Stoneyburn. After about 0.5 miles, you will come to a layby on the left.
Longridge Moss is situated north of the layby. There are no paths on this reserve, so appropriate footwear is recommended and care must be taken on the wet, soft and uneven ground.
Dogs must be kept on a lead under close control as sheep and cattle graze on the reserve. There are no formal paths, so please take care on the uneven ground.
