Fabulous walks and good bird hides. Such a shame the cafe is closed two days a week. Visited yesterday and the car park was full but the cafe closed (a Tuesday in July). A better bet is to park by the old station in Cardigan, complete the circular walk from the Cardigan end and visit a choice of pubs and cafes in town.

Great place for bird watchers, photographers or just a fantastic walk or a cycle. The centre itself is modern and we'll suited to the location. I enjoyed a cuppa and some bara brith with butter over the top. Delicious.

The visitor Centre and lunchroom was closed on Monday because the season is over. Too bad. The park itself was open and gave us the time for a nice walk. We loved all the cabins for bird watching. No Kingfisher for us, but all other kinds of birds.

Excellent place to visit. Many walks, we did the longest red trail, around 3 miles. Lots of bid hides to visit. The visitor centre is excellent with good cafe. The lunches are recommended also the cakes. Car parking £4.00 all day. We visited on a weekday, weekend may get very busy. Nearby village has a castle view national trust but no charge, also no parking but roadside parking in village.
