My husband thoroughly enjoyed his belated 60th birthday present of a half day experience. He was able to handle and learn about a wide variety of birds of prey. The experience was great value for money and he would recommend to all.

Our visit was just prior to the coronavirus taking hold and was a treat for our grandson's eight birthday. There was five in our group including my wife, son and the birthday boy and his younger brother (three years old) and our family ticket cost £48.00 with a further £2.00 spent on a food bag each for the boys to feed to the animals. We considered this a reasonable price as we were there from 10am to after 2pm. Having arrived at the opening time we had the place to ourselves for the first forty five minutes or so but after that it became steadily busier. The mix of animals and play areas worked well for the boys who each had a tractor to ride around the place. The youngest was captivated by the new indoor aviary and ,armed with a bird identity sheet, spent ages trying to find all the birds. We had great family time in the ball gun room there and had to drag the boys out of it. Our time there ended in the indoor play area where we had snacks - would recommend the sausage rolls. We all had a wonderful time there and will visit again. Thank you to all the staff at Barleylands. Next time my wife and I will also take time to explore the craft shops. We

A warm welcome will always greet you at Hanningfield reservoir visitor centre. The visitor centre is set in mature woodland and offers superb views over the 870 acre Hanningfield Reservoir. It is an ideal place to view the wildlife within the nature reserve and to receive the latest sightings news. The centre has full disabled access as does the Lyster Bird hide that is a short distance away. There are lots of gifts in the centre shop and a full range of binoculars and telescopes, as well as books and refreshments. So while you're enjoying a nice warming drink you can take time to enjoy the stunning view over the water and browse the display. The nature reserve offers some beautiful walks through the woodland, taking in bird hides, ponds and views across the reservoir. The site is run in partnership with Essex & Suffolk Water and you can walk through the reserve to the Essex & Suffolk Water Fishing Lodge and the Cafe on the Water.

It cost £1. To buy the map of the trail and you can borrow a crayon to do brass running of the wind in the willows characters that you find alone the trail... We had such a wonderful time with our 3 year old granddaughter. It was safe and great exercise for us all... We did enjoy toasted sandwiches and drinks in the cafe and sat in the sunshine enjoying an ice cream after the trail... We will definitely go back again... Fantastic value for money.....

I frequent Lake Meadows just to walk around the lake. Always plenty of people around with children and dogs. The path around the lake is pothole free and has a good surface for walking. There are a number of seats around the lake so it is easy to have a rest once in a while. An enjoyable venue.
