Slimbridge Wetlands Centre
We regularly visit slimbridge a wetland reserve managed by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust. Where the children enjoy walking among the exotic birds in beautiful grounds set in more than 800 acres of wild reserve, we enjoy feeding them, watching them swim and the children have started to learn the different names of the birds pointing them out when we visit, they also enjoy bird spotting in the hides, exploring and puddle jumping in welly boot land is always a big hit with its waterwheels, bridges, fountains and a stream. and playing in the park is great fun.
