Wetlands

The 250 hectare Country Park offers an exciting day out for the whole family and a tremendous countryside experience.

The wetland reserve has been designed to include a range of habitats that will attract interesting and rare wildlife, particularly birds such as the bittern, lapwing, golden plover and redshank. Also look out for hares and other animals. A series of walks take you to different parts of the site. The Pillinge Lake, reedbeds and other ponds all support different birds that can be viewed from secretly located hides, so as not to disturb them.

A wildlife and sensory garden gives you the opportunity to get close to the magic of nature. Plants that excite the senses and through smell, sound or touch and the surfaced path through this area means that it is easily accessible for all.
