Rspb Leighton Moss

Fabulous reserve with so much to see even late January when alot of vegetation dies back but with lots of winter visitors migrants (feathered ! to see. I arrived by train to Silverdale via Carnforth. Main visitor centre just a short walk from there. RSPB Staff greet people on arrival to ask if anything particular you want to see give advice of best places within the reserve. Main reserve has several large hides which are excellent provide superb views across the lagoons reedbeds. Information boards notices's pretty much everywhere.

Great experience, not only a great cause but also educational. We visited in early March and although we couldn't experience and see everything it was still very enjoyable and a great trip out (also got up close with a Robin who was very photogenic . The shop has loads of different things to chose from, from binoculars, keyrings and even mugs. With it being a rainy day we went to the cafe for a brew and a little treat, I'm sorry to the lovely staff as we stood there for ages as the options were too hard to chose from, so I highly recommend! Great for the family and kids and even the four legged friends as theirs a dog route also.

Managed by the RSPB it’s a great place to spot local and migrating wildlife, particularly birds. The main visitor centre has a shop and cafe and car park, which do get busy on nice days , so arrive early. Most of the hides can be accessed by wheelchair. It’s worth taking your binoculars if you have them, although you can rent them or buy them in the shop. Pond dipping kits also available to hire. There are regular guided walks which can be booked online- worth doing if you want to learn more. Education visits by schools are also popular and enjoyed by children

Very friendly staff who were happy to keep an eye on our bikes while we had coffee and cake. Lovely cafe upstairs, with a good selection of food and drink. A shame there isn't a big picture window, or outside seating a balcony would be amazing. We'll definitely be back.

Lovely place for a walk, all flat and highly accessible. Passionate and chatty staff and wasn't too busy on a bank holiday Monday. Lots of birds but easier to hear them than see them in the tall reeds.
