"Whether you’re a regular visitor or are perhaps coming to see us for the very first time, the site team will be on hand to help you discover what makes this reserve such a wonderful home for nature."

"Who Laid the Egg?" activity trail

Pay a visit between April 8 - 29 to take part in the 'Who laid the egg?' Easter activity trail. A number of eggs have been hidden along the trails, alongside riddles and games to learn and discover which animal has laid the egg.

The egg-citing Easter trail is aimed at children aged three - 11 years old, but grown-ups can of course join in the fun too. There is no need to book, just turn up. Activity sheets are available from the welcome hut and cost £3 each.

Anna added: “Our egg-themed activity trail will be running throughout the Easter holidays. As well as being a fun way for families to enjoy spending time together outdoors, it’s a really easy way to get children excited about the natural world and help them learn all about the wildlife on their doorstep.”
