What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Uxbridge Moor Nature Reserve is a peaceful, evolving natural space with improving paths and artistic additions. While some find it a lovely hidden gem, others note limited parking, occasional uncleanliness of the pond, and concerns about its secluded nature for solo visitors. It's a place that offers a quiet escape but requires some awareness of its wilder aspects and accessibility limitations.
"Particularly peaceful in the morning.
This nature reserve is currently being given a makeover. It looks really good already. Paths are wider, and most of the "jungle" has been dealt with. Much of it still remains - it is a nature reserve, after all. Wooden carvings, similar to those newly in court park, are being created as I write! This is a lovely hidden gem in the heart of hillingdon. Actually, I wonder why I'm telling you about it! There's free but limited parking nearby"

"A nice little place but I have seen some people who come here to smoke or drink. And the pond is not clean. You will find it hard to not step on dog poo"

"Very overgrown and secluded didn’t feel safe walking the dog. No parking facilities."
