I love this place! A place to really feel at one with nature. Trails are easy to follow with a mixture of ponds, trails and estually foreshore. Cafe at the visitor centre is dog freindly too.
Includes a lovely shop with unique gifts at reasonable prices. Cafe is well worth a visit. Inside seats that allow you to watch the birds. Bird food can be purchased.
A great place to walk about and bring your kids and dogs. Very nice food at very reasonable prices in the food section of the visitors section at the end of the walkway. Great views of the Humber Brisge and the river. Clean fresh air! Free parking. Mobility friendly.
I set out to originally do the Humber Bridge walk, but there had been an accident on it, so, not really knowing too much, I went to the visitors centre (south side, Barton-upon-Humber) and the ladies at the desk were lovely, they gave me a brief description and two maps, so off I went on the waters edge walk, it was a bit cloudy and windy today, but still nice enough to enjoy the lovely outdoors. There are so many little pathways to take, and hidden ponds/lakes, I also found a little cafe for general public and fishermen, that is on my agenda for the next visit.
Architecturally impressive building but the exhibition is showing its age. Some funding desperately needed for a wholesale refit.
