There’s spectacular close-up wildlife encounters for everyone at WWT Slimbridge from watching flamingos to hand feeding ducks. Attend a daily otter feed and toad talk, splash around in the outdoor playground or explore the indoor soft play. Relax in the Kingfisher Kitchen and browse for gifts in the shop. This world class wetland boasts fantastic views of the Severn Estuary and with remote bird hides it is a great place to go birdwatching too.

About the area
Gloucestershire is home to a variety of landscapes, including the Cotswolds, a region of gentle hills, valleys and gem-like villages that roll through the county. To their west is the Severn Plain, watered by Britain’s longest river and characterised by orchards and farms marked out by hedgerows that blaze with mayflower in the spring; beyond the Severn are the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley.
