The Welsh Wildlife Centre, Cilgerran, Pembrokeshire

You may be lucky enough to spy a colourful kingfisher from one of the many bird observation hides or witness otters playing in the Teifi River while enjoying a family picnic at this scenic wildlife centre.

Families also love exploring the nature trails on foot or two wheels, playing in the adventure playground, discovering the willow maze, meeting the resident water buffalo and friendly giant willow badger.

The Explorer Backpacks provide a variety of fun-filled activities. There’s also a geocaching trail.

Relax in the Glasshouse Cafe while soaking up the panoramic views of the Teifi Marshes Nature Reserve, and enjoy the sweet surroundings after-hours with a stay at the cosy on-site Oak Tree Cottage, also known as the Cwtch.

Entry is free to the reserve and visitor centre, welshwildlife.org
