Visitor Centre Facilities

Disabled parking and toilets can be found adjacent to the Centre together with nearby picnic areas.

Pop in for a tea or coffee and on most weekends you can try homemade cakes and buns specially made by our volunteer team. To cool you down during the summer months cold drinks and ice creams are available.

For children the Centre carries a wide selection of pocket money toys and, to further the cause of wildlife, the Centre also has an extensive range of nest boxes, feeders and bird food at very competitive prices. There are Bee Hives on the Reserve and Rodley honey is occasionally available for sale in the Visitor Centre.

Specific to the Reserve the latest Annual Review, calendars and cards are available.

The Visitor Centre also incorporates a display area which gives an insight into the biodiversity of the Reserve with numerous pictorial and skeletal displays together with a living freshwater display and Harvest Mouse tank.

During the breeding season several nest box camera monitors can be viewed including Barn Owl and Kestrel.
