This awesome place is somewhere I have visited a number of times and never get tired of it. The ride there is brilliant, the building is outstanding with plenty to keep you occupied like watching the live camera streams , the cafe is great, and the thought and effort that's been put into the design of the structure is superb. have a look for the river of coins . Then there's the 360 observatory where you look out over to the osprey nest watching the adult ospreys bringing food in for the chicks.
Incredible wildlife Sanctuary. Ospreys are usually there for viewing. Binoculars and HD cameras ensure you won't be disappointed. They have beavers here in an enclosure too. Speak to the staff - so knowledgeable and fascinating to find out what is going on behind the scenes.
An excellent modern 2 storey visitor centre, run by Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust, with a small cafe & shop, various displays about the area and the site, and TV displays showing the nesting ospreys spring/summer.nOutside there is boardwalk path that leads through the boggy area to a 3 storey 360° viewing tower. This has, on two outdoor platforms, excellent panoramic views of the estuary, river valley, and lovely surrounding hills.nOn the upper platform, the enclosed room has windows that overlook the Osprey’s nesting pole and perch, with various telescopes and television screens to closely view the distant Ospreys, as well as helpful staff/volunteers.nThe site also plays host to beavers.nThe site has car parking & EV charging. The visitor centre, viewing tower, and boardwalks are designed for and fully accessible by wheelchair users.nI was very impressed with the location and, although photographers may find it rather distant viewing of the ospreys, the facilities mean that everyone can get to closely watch the ospreys on the numerous television screens.nIf you are interested in birds, this site is excellent to combine with a visit to the nearby RSPB Ynys-hir nature reserve and the layby that overlooks the Afon Dyfi river Dovey just beneath Glandyfi Castle
Really nice modern place with great staff giving lots of information about ospreys.nLovely boardwalk which goes to the observation tower not far to walknnThe osprey nest is quite far away but they have lots of telescopes set to the correct angle to see the nest as well as many massive TV screens showing live feeds of the nest.nnThere's also a cinema room which was playing lots of short videos. Some about ospreys showing how they tag the birds, as well as videos of other animals badgers!nnVery clean toilets and a nice cafe serving hot drinks and cakes.nWe had a piece of lime & blueberry cake as well as the maple & apple cake.nBoth tasted really fresh with a lovely spongy soft texture and great flavours for a good price.nnCost £7 per adult to enter but if you like ospreys then it's worth visiting.
Called in to break up a journey further south. The weather was foul but the welcome was warm!nnInside the entrance building there's plenty of live screens showing various camera angles of the Osprey nest. The cafe and gallery are very good and the toilets are clean. There's a small shop on site but is well stocked with gifts.nnA ten minute walk on the broadwalk minding the little toads takes you to the observatory. Still some distance from the nest to avoid disturbing the birds but plenty of helpful volunteers and staff with telescopes and binoculars to watch the nest as well as more cameras. Games at the bottom of the observatory to entertain the little ones. Wheelchair friendly in both buildings including a lift to the observatory. We would like to plan a return visit soon.
