More Information
The new centre is accessed by a tunnel, which takes visitors through a dune mound and opens out to give panoramic views of the reed bed and pond. This offers a unique perspective for budding birdwatchers without disturbing the waders, waterfowl and magnificent Marsh Harriers from doing what they do.
We are open all year round.
