Informasi umum

WWT Martin Mere Wetland Centre is a wetland nature reserve and visitor attraction in Burscough, Lancashire. Open 364 days a year, our family-friendly site offers visitors of all ages and abilities a host of unforgettable and accessible wildlife encounters and beautiful scenery whatever the weather.

Established since 1975, every season brings a host of wild experiences from the autumn goose spectacular when 40,000 pink-footed geese will roost on the reserve, the winter swan spectacular when up to 2000 whooper swans will feed everyday on the mere, to the spring new life as ducklings, goslings, chicks and cygnets spring up and the summer flora, forna and insects; meaning no two visits are the same.

Supported by dedicated and knowledgeable staff and enthusiastic volunteers, we are committed to offering the best possible experience for our visitors. In addition to wildlife spotting, there is a canoe safari and boat tours, pond dipping activities, den building, a selection of daily talks including an otter talk and feed, hand feeding birds from around the world in our collection and the option to lose yourself in nature on our wild walks.

Everyone from bird enthusiasts and animal lovers to school groups and families looking for a wild adventure can find something to enjoy here at WWT Martin Mere – it’s the perfect place to get closer to nature!
