I must say what a great half day we had myself and my wife. Sadie is very informative and laid back, even though you are handling her babies. I would recommend anybody and everybody to go and take advantage of this wonderful half day, you get hands on with upwards of six magnificent birds of prey and great value for money, Keep up the good work Sadie and lets hope you have another 10 great years here doing what you love. thx so much Spencer & Julie.

I contacted David to come and do a talk with over 24 cub scouts. Something he hadn't really done before. He came in with 3 birds, including Boo Boo the owl. What an experience. He was so good with the children, one cub was scared of pigeons before the activity and ended up touching an owl. She was so pleased. I cannot recommend this man enough. I for one will defiantly be using his services again. Thank you David, very informative and all the cubs loved it.

The Nature Discovery Centre is a visitor centre on a nature reserve on the outskirts of Thatcham, Berkshire. This fantastic visitor centre is packed full of interactive wildlife and natural history displays. There is a network of footpaths ranging from small family-friendly walks to longer paths for the more adventurous, and the bird hide offers a perfect opportunity to watch the world go by. We also have a Lakeside Cafe where you can enjoy hot and cold homemade food and drinks looking out over the lake.

I’ve been coming here for a while now, even more so since my son has reached an age where he enjoys walks more than ever. It’s a great place to visit, easy parking available with charity donation parking machines. There is 2 parks, one for younger children and one for older children both of which are great! There is toilets at the entrance of the centre. From the moment you arrive you’re greeted by beautiful scenery and stunning views. There are all sorts of beautiful trees, at this time of year it’s full of daffodils and flowering cherry blossom trees. There are swans and different types of ducks, it’s really beautiful. Perfect picnic areas, perfect for families, couples and dog lovers!

The place that just keeps on giving. Took my 2 year old here recently during the frosty weather and it was a brilliant few hours out. I do usually come here regularly throughout the year as it’s a great place to walk but offers so much more. During the summer there are plenty of places to have a picnic, kick a ball around, go exploring and do extensive walks. There’s a lot of wildlife here, so definitely during the warmer months watch your steps as had several lizards run across the path ahead! Great for dog walkers, although there are wild horses so do keep that in mind. This is a place great for all ages, and all interests. Not just great in the summer it’s great all year long!

Trindledown Farm is dedicated exclusively to caring for those animals enjoying the twilight years of their lives. Our rescue and rehoming centre is home to both field animals and domestic pets. We offer tours of the centre from 11-4 every day. Tours of the centre can be easily arranged and visitors are encouraged to wander the kennel corridors, visit the cat pens and animals in the fields. We are temporarily closed at the moment in line with Government Guidelines but our onsite shops are open. No appointments are needed but we do ask that you report at reception

This is well worth a visit. There are Alpacas, sheep, cats, dogs, birds, horses, a pot bellied pig, rabbits etc. There is also a shop where you can find a bargain and a wonderful cafe with a great choice of yummy cakes and, on most days, hot food at amazing prices. They hold New to You sales in their barn which are terrific and you are bound to come home with a bargain. I recently arranged to take an elderly lady who loves Alpacas. The staff were wonderful. They encouraged the Alpacas up to the fence and provided food for the lady to feed them with. Next she fed the sheep, visited the cats and dogs and finished the visit off in the cafe with tea and cake. She couldn’t have been happier and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. It may not be a big place bursting with animals but it is doing a wonderful job and should be supported and encouraged. The animals are happy in large enclosures or fields. Entry is by donation and they are grateful for all donations to their shop and Sales days. Thoroughly recommend Trindledown for all the family

I’ve been coming to WCP for the last 6 years and genuinely think it is the best attraction in our area (we live in Reading). The park has a variety of playgrounds to suit different ages. We always enjoy feeding the animals at the farm (especially the crazy goats) and my kids go nuts in the sand and water play area. On our last visit (Thursday 15 April) we stayed the whole day in the park and managed to do about everything (kids are 4 and 6). The park is spotless and well maintained. I love how they’ve made new additions and improvements throughout the years and I always appreciate how the train ride is decorated differently depending on the theme (Easter, Halloween, ...) The picnic selection at the restaurants is good. The hot food not so much. Prices are very reasonable. Staff throughout the park is friendly. Covid-19 remarks - regular cleaning is being done. The train is wiped down after every (yes every!) ride. The jumping pillow was disinfected entirely before first use of the day. - hand sanitising stations were fully stocked - there are 2 food outlets and an ice cream Outlet in the park and I didn’t see big queues at any of them - social distancing was acceptable. Some people get it, some people don’t. The park is doing what they can. I felt safe during our time there. - we booked for 9:30 and walked in without having to queue Wonderful place and fantastic management. Highly recommend.
