Askham Bog Nature Reserve is a small nature reserve; in total it is of 44 hectares in size with approx 750 metres of accessible pathway. The path is mainly on wooden boardwalk – with a short downward section on dirt track, uphill on the route back to the carpark. The boardwalk is reasonably wide but only has a small toeboard fitted to the side, and the terrain off the boardwalk is boggy! The site is accessed via a wide Bridleway style gate.
