Summer's not over just yet! Find a wow around every corner at WWT Castle Espie
Make the most of the last few days of summer at WWT Castle Espie where an extraordinary day out filled with new experiences and unique activities in nature awaits.
There’s a wow around every corner and something for all the family at the wetland reserve where a huge number of species, from oystercatcher to dragonflies call home. Indeed, it’s also the last chance to catch sight of the summer birds before they leave the UK, including common terns.
Ensuring that everyone gets up close and personal with creatures, great and small, there’s a summer postcard adventure trail, keeper talks to learn more about our ducks and geese in the Aviary, and interactive play in our nature playground.
Offering both adventure and a deeper connection to nature, the postcard trail, new for Summer 2024, encourages explorers, young and old, to search for personal messages from nine animals whose postcards can be found in corners of the wetlands. Using the trail map, picked up from the visitor centre, families embark on a quest to find the postcards and learn about interesting species around the globe.
Claire Conway, Marketing and Communications Manager at WWT Castle Espie, said:
We have a great itinerary this August. There’s a ton of opportunity for those on a Summer Staycation to have a wondrous day out. From unmissable meetings with otherworldly creatures and fabulous walks along the stunning wetlands, to a postcard trail which all the family will enjoy, it’s an experience like no other in the area.
The summer of wonder activities at WWT Castle Espie continue until 1st September with activity costs included in the admission price or free to WWT members, unless marked otherwise. Visitors booking online in advance can also take advantage of a 10% reduction off ticket prices.
