The shop has a few fun and useful gifts. to relax and look across the water any of year , and the price point is 😃 What an absolute beautiful place filled with wildlife and nature. Having troubled thoughts or something getting you down? A around the here is sure to alleviate your thoughts and make you feel better. There are also benches if you want to have some food with a group, or perhaps play a game of checkers. Couldn't recommend it enough. Awesome place for a day out. Very clean and maintained areas for kids. Orchard is nice. Lakes are tidy and have loads of species in them. Both adults and kids enjoy the spaces created. Like silent area, along the lakes, many lookouts. There are signboards everywhere making it easy to navigate. Lots of picturesque views with benches. Parking is enough for everyone. I come here regularly for a pleasant around the lake, and to admire the local birds. And after a brisk walk, it makes sense to reward yourself with a coffee and cake at the lovely café. For the of year March. Still very good place two bring your kiddies. place to bring children and observe wildlife. We spotted a barking deer and forest mice, had a picnic by the lake, and bought a skavenger hunt book for the little one. The volunteers in the and shop are awesome. Lovely place for relaxing. Walked around the then played in the park. was sufficient and not too expensive. I had a there. It was a very day in such a lovely place. There are toilet and but close at certain times. Free car park but you can donate some. Short nature suitable for small children and adults. Organised activities on specific dates in the discovery centre. Lovely round the and through the reed beds to the canal . Two age appropriate playgrounds and lots of picnic tables including ones in the shade. Lovely place for local walks around the lakes. Plenty of car park spaces, the paths around the main are easily accessible and the on-site has many options for food and drinks. Reasonable sized parking area with a couple of dedicated disabled bays. A bit tight on a Sunday morning. No fee but £3 donation requested…just pay, it’s worth it to keep this place open. Very good play areas for two age groups which our 4 and 7 year olds loved. Oddly no swings for the 7 year old. Cafe is good for hot drinks, ice creams and snacks. Lakeside is suitable for scooters etc, not too long for little legs and interesting bird life. One of my favourite places to relax and take a stroll, and on a gorgeous day like this one it was maybe the first I really felt spring had come! I visit the Nature Discovery Centre regularly. I love the little shop, and the has coffee. It's really to sit and watch the conings and going of the people and the wildlife. The walks are fantastic, with different length routes, all very pretty. Perfect with or without your dog and children 😊 Last week I accompanied a friend who has mobility problems to the Discovery Centre. We had booked the Tramper vehicle, which enables people like my friend to explore the paths around the lake. It is free to hire. I was able to alongside him and we both had fun. We could hear the birds, see the wild fowl on the and the trees coming into blossom. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. On arrival we were made very welcome and, after some tasty refreshments in the lovely cafe, we were shown how to use the Tramper. The person instructing us was very kind and steady and made sure my friend was happy with everything - then off we went. This is such a experience. We will definitely be returning. Thankyou everyone. Clean, tidy, beautiful and not too busy. The around the is short enough for young children, our children loved the playparks and there were plenty of benches for a picnic. We (4 adults 1 child) had a here on a cool spring day. The car park is a bit bumpy but plenty of space and it's free, though they adk for a donation which is reasonable. The center itself is modern and had indoor and outdoor seating. We had excellent coffees. Very surprised by that, was nicer than some coffe chains. The kids acitivitesnindoor were touch too and the little shop was quaint. The play parks are modern and for all ages. We did the short round the with some bird feed we bought for £1.50. Birds were lovely. My daughter enjoyed spotting the different kinds of birds, bugs, and frog spawn in the pond. Lunch was busy and the only had toasties available when we were there though saw a couple people with sausage rolls. We waited a 30 mins for our toasties that came with 5-6 crisps. I imagine in peak summer you could wait an hour. Apart from lunch we had a lovely day So Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
