This reserve was amazing. Very friendly welcome from the lady on reception and plenty of parking. The welcome included pointing out where recent highlights were and to make sure I also had a look down at the Thames after, just incase of waders / seals. There was lots to see and make sure you have a look at the "munitions area" as this seemed to be a hotpoint of bird activity. I will definitely return. There is also a cafe and toilets onsite.

We held a 5th birthday Party for our little girl here and it was a fantastic day. Our party was hosted by Sonia and Yasmin who were brilliant ,they had prepared our Party room/eating area before we had arrived and greeted us on arrival making sure our guests found where we was seated.The kids were fully entertained in one way or another whether they was working there round the play area or having fun dancing with Cosmo the dragon and staff. Big thanks to Yasmin and Sonia as they made our day very enjoyable and full of fun for the kids.Needless to say we would definitely use ‘Partyman’ again.????
