RSPB Leighton Moss Cafe in Lancaster

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.

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.

This country needs more places like this!Great knowledgeable staff nice accomodating café and visitor centre.Confirmable and adaptable hides too and good well maintained paths.Marsh Harriers and all sorts of water birds about too.

Great place to observe and learn about rare British bird species. Disabled access friendly paths and hides. Lots of useful information about the wildlife. Great little gift shop with loads of reference books and toys. A gazebo near the entrance overlooks feeders which are frequented by a huge variety of birds. And the tall platform that has been built to overlook the whole sanctuary is worth the walk up. Highly recommended.

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.I had a lovely lunch (pie & peas) in the onsite cafe & theres also a very good shop. Lots of on site staff looking after the site which is a huge credit to everyone. Excellent viewing platform (Skytower) which gives wonderful view over most of site. Loads of birds to see whilst I was there saw Egrets, Pintails, Goldeneye, fleeting glance of Marsh Harrier & too many more to mention. Not only birds to see you have chance to see Otters which I sadly didn't but did see a stoat.Didn' manage to venture to the coastal hideswhicch look out into the sands & salt marshes but that's for another day.Wonderful site & I will visit again soon.

Always a fabulous place to visit. Not too busy in a Thursday morning but enough bird watchers around for help on identification.

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

Visited here today have only seen part of it and found it to be great will be returning soon to explore some more. The facilities are great really clean. The cafe was lovely we had afternoon tea with scones yummy.

Wonderful place for families with children and not only. If you come by train, with the train tickets, it's half price entrance, it use to be for free before the lockdown. Coffee place inside is very nice with very polite staff. Bird nature reserve it's just like a paradise, will endless paths to discover, huge variety of wildlife birds, insects and plants. Very clean and nicely maintained. We had wonderful day out and will definitely come back for more. 🦋🐝🐛🌸🌳

Lovely peaceful and tranquil space to sit and watch birds from benches, hides and a look out tower. Good level walking with access for wheelchairs and prams. Great cafe and shop. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.
