It's a pretty nice spot for an inner-city place near Coventry, but don't go expecting a nature retreat. You could probably explore the whole thing, do some bird watching, and be back at the visitor's center in under an hour. It's got a nice vibe, good for older folks or children. The visitor's center has a decent coffee shop. The ice cream was great, but the iced latte wasn't. You can grab some bird stuff there too.

Lovely walk around, didn’t manage to see much wildlife but hopefully next time I will! Lovely and peaceful walk, very quite hardly seen anyone walking around! £4.75 per person entrance fee. 50ps for a map. Free car park Picnic area at the start. 2 different walks you can do, the meadow walk isn’t very sign posted and felt like we walked in abit of a circle and then had to come Back on our self as no exit the way we walked.

Lovely place for a walk about as well as watching wildlife. Many hides from where to watch. Toilets and a volunteer run cafe selling cakes and snacks all add up to make a memorable experience.

This is a beautiful space to bring the family or to come on your own. It has sparked a love of wildlife for my young boys. We've seen otters and egrets, muntjac and woodpeckers and much more. We're still looking for that elusive kingfisher but we'll get there. The starling murmurations are spectacular. Please come and support this local jewel, you won't regret it.
