WWT Castle Espie
Bangor, United Kingdom Tourist attraction
One of the Best Places To Visits in Lisbane Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. Finally visited the last WWT centre I had yet to see. There are the usual attractions for families, an excellent cafe and shop and plenty of hides. Not the best time of year to visit but we saw plenty of waders. Highly recommended if you have any interest in birds and/or little people to keep entertained. About a 20 minute drive from belfast, used to visit here all the time years ago. There’s a duckery and long walk around the wetland. Hardly any ducks anymore and no point in buying the seeds because the ducks you do see, you cannot feed with the seeds. There’s a pond zone that looks completely run down aswell. I mean if you had kids and a member you would be able to visit all year round as it would be exciting for them, but not much else to see than a few ducks. There’s a cafe also on the site and toilets located throughout the track. Good place for a walk, on your own or with the kids. I visited last week with my grandson, no visiting wildfowl yet, but he had a ball in the Wildwood Play area, and the soft play. Decent bit of lunch too. Very friendly staff. This was the last of the WWT locations for us to visit to complete the set. Plenty of parking. Nice coffee shop. Beautiful, quiet location. A place to relax, unwind, forget about the stresses of life whilst giving nature a helping hand. A well laid out and managed slice of wilderness, not far from Newtownards and Comber. There are plenty of places to stop and rest on the way round (we had a 3 & 4 yr old). Great for bird watching and learning or even just a scenic walk if you're not into local bird/wildlife. There are plenty of nice views. Helpful and friendly staff, lovely gift shop, small softplay for younger kids, and a nice café at the end. We will be back. had a lovely day with my four small children exploring the wetlands, forest and swamp. End of the day not so great- very rude staff member making comments to a co-worker about my children, aged 2-9 who were supervised and doing exactly no harm to anyone or anything. my children weren't the only ones on the receiving end of this poor attitude and I hope everyone subjected to it raised it, including colleagues, one of whom took a sore touch in front of me when she dared walk away from the counter. yikes. This place is honestly beautiful. I would definitely recommend bringing your children here. It's a lovely family walk. Lots of ducks and the views are amazing. They also have a big play park and cafe. 10/10. Beautiful, idyllic surroundings. Loved every minute of it. I could've stayed all day.
