The Ouse Washes are currently flooded after recent high rainfall, our main hides are closed but flooding is dropping daily. Swan feeds and hare walk are still running as normal. We will post further updates as access improves.
XWinter at Welney Wetland Centre
Experience spectacular winter wildlife as swans, ducks and wading birds flock in their thousands. The reserve is a hive of activity with morning and evening flight of swans, godwit flocks shoaling in the sky to avoid birds of prey and pochard roosting on the main lagoon.
Nature reserve
Welney takes in 1,000 acres of the Ouse Washes alongside 300 acres of wetland recreation, where some of the UK's rarest ground-nesting birds hatch their young.
