Amazing biological heritage site running through the heart of Birch Green. It's recently been cleared by volunteers and is looking fantastic. Plenty of wildlife, a nice stream and a ton of trees. Nice to have a 20 minute stroll from one end to the other.

Turbary Woods Owl and Bird of Prey Sanctuary is a pure volunteer based, non profit group of volunteers. The flying display give you the visitors, Children & Adults, the chance to participate in the flying display and have our birds land on your gloved hand as they fly to you for their food. We have a collection of over 80 birds of prey including eagles, hawks, falcons, owls, vultures and more unusual species. All the birds are housed in large open fronted aviaries, sheltered in a woodland setting. We assist conservation and education of these beautiful Birds and we are involved with an average of 50 rescues each year.

Thoroughly enjoyed our day at Turbary Woods today. The sanctuary is right next to a garden centre which has a cafe, which also has toilets. The cafe was reasonably priced and the food was delicious. We were allowed to get really close to the birds and the staff were all friendly and informative and you can see that they are all passionate about the birds. We learnt lots and were encouraged to get involved with the bird display which was really entertaining and interesting, Will definitely visit again, thanks for a great afternoon. Family of four ticket was £18.00, adults £6, children £4 and oap's £4. I think the fees are reasonable as the upkeep of the place must be expensive.

The whole experience was fantastic, well thought out and informative. Both my husband and little girl who is 4 were totally captivated by Kath and her knowledge and passion about bees, Plus the honey tasting at the end was perfect. I can't wait to visit the new site and see how this business grows and educates of the importance of bees. Brilliant, thanks ????

I visit the Fairfield Nature Reserve often, and it's a place I always take visitors to the city. It's a lovely green space, suitable for all. There's various paths to take, benches to sit on, exploring to be had, and my kids love the nearby playpark, plopping little stones into Lucy Brook, and playing in the Orchard.

Absolutely fabulous time here with a 5 year old. The wildlife is always impressive and with a 5 year old with me the Canoe Safari and Pond dipping were great fun. Had to prebook as numbers are limited during the pandemic. Felt very safe and it's all outdoors anyway. One way system helped. Great value too. We had a lovely day.

We recently pitched up and stayed two nights at the Bowland wild boar park camp site. The place is lovely and surrounded by nature. The facilities available were great and included; clean and modern shower/toilet block, fire pits, seating, walking trails and camping pods that looked warm and cosy. Dave and Anona were such great hosts. They were friendly and welcoming and very easy to communicate with. They were very understanding and helpful when my girlfriends car had some troubles close to the entrance to the park which we couldn't have sorted out without their support. Will definitely return at some point in the future :)
