The Visitor Centre
The Visitor Centre exists in a peaceful and secluded site which is surrounded by beautiful mature trees and nestles beside Webbs (of Hagley) Garden Centre (access is via the Garden Centre main entrance).
As well as adding many more birds, there have been many improvements to the centre in recent years: rebuilding of all aviaries to make them larger, adding landscaped gardens and concrete pathways, a new large fish pond, refurbishment of weathering area and the seating area for displays. The centre is fully accessible to pushchairs and wheelchairs
