Castle Espie Wetland Centre (WWT)

Get close to ducks and geese, discover adventure in our play areas and be wowed by our wildlife.

Go wild in the woods where you can burrow in a badger’s sett, dash the log obstacle course, make a den and fly high on the rope swing. How about discovering the Secret Swamp? Follow the signs past the wishing tree and deep into the woods where our fabulous treehouse, zip wire and dazzling green swamp awaits.

There’s also an Arctic-themed soft play barn for our younger explorers and a relaxing sensory garden with a pond, wriggly wormery and ant farm.

Visit Castle Espie Wetland Centre for an unforgettable family day out in the great outdoors.
