RSPB Ynys-hir is a wonderful with plenty of and things to see. Entry price was reasonable, and it's very well looked after. There is plenty of wildlife to enjoy, which can be seen from the bird-hides and also the raised boardwalk. The welcome area had a coffee machine with cakes and treats if you're looking for refreshments, as well as toilets, but it's the only on-site. We spent around 3 hours here in total - it's a great place to enjoy some peace and nature. Beautiful reserve. The staff were very helpful in picking the best route for us to use, given that the wheelchair has off-road tyres it made this more traversal, but it's nature, not pathways and a bit hilly in places! So if you're going to do the red route, then muscles will be needed! The drive going in looks one way but is indeed a two-way system, and passing points are spaced out, so confidence in driving is needed as well. Brilliant with some maxing Hide’s to quietly sit and absorb the fantastic views around the various walks! We drove an hour to get here and it was totally worth it. Entrance is £6 each, and again totally worth it. The grounds are so well kept and there are plenty of and signage around explaining about the various that have been sighted in the area. The themselves are really not difficult, but not completely flat. They would not easily be passable in a wheelchair (red/green routes walked today) The board walk thought he marsh is great. One of the Hides currently has a Swallows nest inside and so you can see the young in the nest (from a distance as they have boarded off the end for them!) and the parents flying happily in and out, which is a real treat! The drive is easy on main roads, however the turning is a sharp one and can be missed. We did and had to turn around. Once in however you drive down a long lane, think you're lost but carry on as there are signs. Once in, It is a decent car park which is free. With picnic tables and lovely feeders to see the smaller birds. Then through the visitors centre, that has coffee and snacks, with very friendly, knowledgeable staff. There are 3 different routes. Through the Saltmarsh, Woodlands and Wetlands. There is also boardwalks rounds and easy flat if you don't want the rough ones. There are hides to watch the from all around. A great place to go. Well worth a visit just to stroll or watch the wildlife. Stunning views across the Estuary. However No Dogs. We visited in the pouring rain on a Saturday in early September and it was very quiet, which was great. We almost had the place to ourselves! Parking is plentiful & free, but there are very narrow lanes in places to get there. The centre is up a slope and the paths are not particularly suitable for wheelchairs or buggies. It is possible though, to see & hear quite a lot of birdlife just from the carpark! The centre has for food (cake & icecream for example) & drink (takeaway coffee for example), plus tables to sit at. There is a small gift shop and at the time of our visit, there was a very informative guide who told us the best route to take across the & hide to visit for the bad weather. There is a bird feeder just outside the centre entrance where we saw nuthatch, coal tits & several other small birds. Further into the you can view out over the Dyfi estuary. We saw widgeon & other duck species feeding. The trails and parking area are open even when the center isn't. We arrived early to do some walking and bird watching before the day got too warm. We enjoyed seeing all the at their feeder. We didn't see that many from the hides but we were grateful for the input of other birders on what we did see. Nice hiking/walking. The center had ice cream, cakes and cold drinks. Definitely recommend for bird enthusiasts. If you’re into outdoor and birding - this is a wonderful slice of wildlife and tranquility (when the RAF aren’t on jet training runs). A fascinating landscape off the beaten path. No dogs allowed. Wonderfully friendly RSPB staff too. A relatively old reserve, this site has a small car park and limited in terms of centre, food/drink & shop. However, it is has helpful staff to help give advice about the site and the various pathways. The site is not easily accessible, with very limited - the pathways and hides are older and not designed for wheelchair access etc, some paths are narrow and have short relatively steep sections, and the accessible toilet are very basic. However, the site has a lovely range of bogs, marshlands, small lakes, and wonderful old oak woodlands. When I visited in the spring, the bluebells were out enmasse and the woods full of singing. The hides gave good viewing over the lake, river valley and surrounding hills. The site is a lovely more natural contrast to the nearby more modern of the Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust Dyfi Osprey Project, and in between there is a layby overlooking the river Dovey and marshland.
