Wildlife

There's a world of wildlife at Caerlaverock Wetland Centre. We're home to nesting waders such as lapwings and rare farmland birds such as tree sparrows and yellowhammer. Look out for roe deer, otters, badgers and brown hares.

Summer at Caerlaverock

In late summer at Caerlaverock the swallows start gathering, our wildflower meadows are full of buzzing bees, beautiful butterflies and fascinating dragonflies, and the occasional osprey is seen out on the merse.

Nature reserve

Caerlaverock Wetland Centre is a spectacular 1,400 acre wild reserve situated on the north Solway coast.
