Immerse yourself with nature and wildlife at the Nature Discovery Centre, which hosts a fantastic mosaic of habitats: woodland, orchard, lakeside and reedbeds.

Explore the network of footpaths, ranging from small family-friendly walks to longer paths for the more adventurous. Spend time watching birds from one of the site’s hides, or relax and listen to nature in the quieter woodland spaces and orchard.

Recharge and socialise with refreshments from the on-site café, and stock-up on wildlife-themed gifts from the shop. Let the kids explore outdoors, feed the ducks and play in the adventure playground area.

Located between Thatcham and Newbury, a short distance off the A4, the Nature Discovery Centre hosts a full programme of inspiring and educational wildlife-related events throughout the year for visitors of all ages to enjoy.
