Being local a have visited many times over the last 40 years. I feel the visitor centre is a great asset and should have been built many years ago. I actually worked in one of the mines that created the ings. It is a fantastic oasis in the middle of industrial Yorkshire.

What a lovely place! Today was my third visit to Fairburn Ings and I will continue to go back. It is relaxing, peaceful and a place for people of all ages. Thank you to the volunteers who were in the visitor centre. They were very informative and answered all my questions enthusiastically! A wonderful place to enjoy nature at its best!

This reserve is brilliant. Beautiful goldfinches on the feeding station and a great spotted woodpecker kept poking it's head in. Not to mention the very friendly staff who, despite the blistering cold snow and rain, went out with us to help us see a long-eared owl. I definitely recommend it to everyone who wants to see wonderful wildlife up close.

Your site is an excellent example of how to transform the mess from industry into the peace of nature. We managed to find the waders on the Flashes. We had grand views of an obliging great spotted woodpecker. We also had a brief, tantalising look at a hobby.
