Find a place to visit

This Lincolnshire nature reserve is a special place. Whichever season you visit, there's wildlife to watch and trails to tromp. Spy foraging Avocets, boxing Hares, and hunting Hen Harriers all at Frampton Marsh.

This is a land where Bitterns sneak through reedbeds, orchids bejewel meadows and in summer, the Cuckoo calls reverberate through woodlands.

Explore this former open cast coal mine and see how nature has reclaimed this industrial landscape. Join us for an event – how about staying out until after dark to see what night-time wildlife we can find?

Hear the reeds rustling in the breeze as you walk around the largest reedbed in north-west England. Will you spot an Otter, marvel at a Marsh Harrier or revel at a Red Deer? Recharge with coffee and cake in the cafe, and some retail therapy in the shop.

Take a walk through reedbeds and along the estuary to see waterbirds and dragonflies. Join us most Saturday mornings in the summer for our moth reveal – see what colourful creatures have been attracted to our light overnight.

With woodland, reedbeds, grassland, heathland and the wild coast to explore, you can easily spend a whole day at Minsmere. Enjoy family time pond dipping or den building in the woods. Visit the shop and enjoy delicious food on our café terrace immersed in the tranquillity of nature.

As well as spectacular views of this famous loch, you’ll get to explore woodland, grassland and all of the wildlife that lives there. Join us for a guided walk or an evening looking for bats. Visit our Nature Hub to discover even more.

This nature reserve is set in a stunning mix of woodlands & wetlands on the banks of Loch Leven, with breath taking views and a diverse mix of habitats.

Wander through our wetlands and discover the wealth of wildlife here at Saltholme, from Common Terns and Avocets to dragonflies and moths. Refuel in the café, then little ones can enjoy the wild play area and discovery zone. Join us for pond dipping, meadow sweeping or a Saltholme Safari!
