Walk away those Christmas calories on Boxing Day

Wake up on Boxing Day feeling like a pig in a blanket? Many of us overindulge on turkey, booze and Christmas pud, so why not clear those foggy heads with some fresh air and work off those festive excesses with a visit to WWT Arundel Wetland Centre – one of the few attractions in the area actually open on Boxing Day.

WWT centres change throughout the seasons, and when Christmas casts its frosty spell over the wetlands, it is a magical time to visit. And after spending a day indoors opening presents, enjoying a Christmas feast then falling asleep in front of a film (cracker hat still on), getting out on Boxing Day is a great opportunity for the family to get out and about.

Witness the wildlife spectacles nature has to offer by strolling through the wetlands at one of WWT’s nine centres throughout the UK. Experience stunning scenery, breathtaking views of the South Downs, and nose to beak encounters with the world’s most dramatic and rare wildlife, including the ducks, geese and swans who migrate thousands of miles to WWT Arundel Wetland Centre.

Don’t forget, the winter heat of WWT’s 2011-2012 Photography Competition is running from December until the end of February, so why not bring your camera and see what masterpieces you can capture during your visit. To enter the competition and be in with a chance of grabbing one of the fantastic prizes worth a total of £50,000, visit www.wwt.org.uk/photo.

WWT Arundel Wetland Centre has an excellent cafe and gift shop and family friendly and disabled facilities including buggy access and manual wheelchairs.
