Nature Hotspots
Lower Lakes & Oak Walk
The Lower Lakes & Oak Walk are home to a variety of birds that use the tall conifers, low shrubs, and ponds.
Main Lake
The Main Lake is a relaxed spot, where Water-fowl float around carelessly — although during the summer months you will be able to see the young cygnets splashing about.
Upper Lake
Specifically designed to encourage biodiversity, this site is a hub of activity where you will be able to see some wildlife in action.
