What visitors say

Kaye Jones-Mahoney

Beautiful place to get lost in. Accessible paths around the site with access to hides to watch wildlife. Lucky enough to see a kingfisher (sadly no pics), grey heron fishing, swan and egrets. The centre has good facilities open daily which includes a cafe. Well worth a visit.

Lovely place for a mostly shaded walking every hot day. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Plenty of parking, short walk to Wildlife centre- there is a cafe, shop and toilets. Lift available too.

The visitor Centre and lunchroom was closed on Monday because the season is over. Too bad. The park itself was open and gave us the time for a nice walk. We loved all the cabins for bird watching. No Kingfisher for us, but all other kinds of birds.

Fabulous walks and good bird hides. Such a shame the cafe is closed two days a week. Visited yesterday and the car park was full but the cafe closed (a Tuesday in July). A better bet is to park by the old station in Cardigan, complete the circular walk from the Cardigan end and visit a choice of pubs and cafes in town.
