Visitor Centres
Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and relax in some peace and quiet alongside beautiful scenery and an array of wonderful wildlife.
Visit Us
We have two visitor centres, one located at Rainton Meadows Nature Reserve near Houghton-le-Spring and one located at Low Barns Nature Reserve near Witton-le-Wear. They are the ideal places to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and relax in some peace and quiet alongside beautiful scenery and an array of wonderful wildlife.
Entry is free and we are delighted that we are able to provide thousands of people with unique wildlife experiences each year at our centres.
As bases for our conservation and education work, the centres at Low Barns and Rainton Meadows are hives of activity. To find out What’s On at each Visitor Centre head over to our Events Page. Scroll down to find out more about our two centres.
