“Wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

The walks and range of birds are lovely. The food in the centre is fresh and lovely. We have only had light lunches or cream teas- but all VERY well done. There are some activities for kids. This is well worth the visit- we have been back twice. More

“This is the most beautiful setting you could wish for!”

The daily soup and bread is amazing the Butternut Squah and Sweet Potatoe is my favourite, along with the BLT baguette. For the kids they do nice lunchboxs, sandwiches,fruit,drink,yoghurt,cake and a little... More

We then took a walk around... More

I love Attenborough Nature Reserve. I prefer it in the winter when there are fewer people around and the ducks are pleased to see you. It is beautiful at any time of the year though and the added facilities of the Nature Centre make it an even better place for families. We usually walk here from home (Beeston) and stop... More
