We visited the British Birds of Prey centre at National Botanic Gardens of Wales yesterday and were swept away by how marvellous it was. The three staff members were all exceptionally knowledgeable and the presentation was wonderful - the lady giving it was the best speaker I've seen in a long time and worth the entrance fee in itself. We were stopping off on a driving day West to East and weren't sure it would entertain our 5 year old but were delighted to find we were all fascinated and stayed far longer than we anticipated. My daughter got to fly a kite - despite being titchy - and, I stress again, the staff were supportive, friendly and passionate about the birds they look after. Both my daughter and myself were rather inspired. After a lockdown fascination with trees we're now moving over to birds in a big way. Many thanks to all. We'll be back soon!

Lovely place to visit with children, we called in whilst staying in the holiday park next door. The baby lamb meet & greet was fab and the lady that owns the farm took the time to explain their names and ages to my daughters and was helpful when we booked the lamb feeding for a weeks time. You can bhy drinks/snacks in the onsite cafe & theres lots of othef animals to look af whilst there.

Gwenffrwd-Dinas Nature Reserve

Reviewed By GaryC129 - Ludlow, United Kingdom

The drive from Llandovery is down narrow lanes but there is little traffic. The walk at the reserve is rugged through the gorge but it is well worth the effort as it is dramatic. Woodland is mainly mature oak and this makes it very atmospheric. Bird life as you wish at an RSPB reserve, our highlight was Peregrine perched cliff watching the gorge.

The garden changes quite dramatically over the four seasons and there's always something to see, not to mention the fantastic panoramic views over the coast towards worms head, and Caldey island.
