Went on a guided walk with Thomas. He and the place fantastic. Learned new things in a friendly, conversational way. Felt energised and recharged in mind and body afterwards. A brilliant experience. Highly recommended.

The tour guides Tom and Alan were amazing. We had a group of over 20 people -university students, professors and a nine year old- and everyone enjoyed themselves. The tour guides even repaired my daughter’s stuffed animal buddy with cello tape and imagination! A memory she won’t soon forget. A real look into Irish natural beauty, wildlife flora etc. Great cafe as well and clean facilities with lots of educational materials- incredibly friendly helpful local staff! Highly recommend!

Really interesting and well-organised investment has created a super environment for a wetland experience. The lay out of the space, the hides, the reeds, and the other facilities are really impressive. Ducks and swans in residence and a wonderful array of other birds (herons, curlews, egrets) in the vicinity.
