Caerlaverock
Nature Centres & Reserves
Tel: +44 (1387) 770275
Overview
A visual melting pot of swirling blues and greys, the mudflats of Caerlaverock provide a winter feast for birds like barnacle geese, bar tailed godwit and knot. Arrive at dusk in early summer and listen to the eerie chorus of natterjack toads as they compete to attract a mate, noisily croaking for attention.
Best Time To Visit: All year round, winter months for wildfowl.
Facilities: Visitor room, path network with raised boardwalks, viewing platform, picnic areas, cycle racks and viewing hide. Care needed – the inter-tidal mudflats and marshes can be dangerous. There is a Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust Centre adjacent to the National Nature Reserve.
Further Information: SNH, Caerlaverock NNR Office, Hollands Farm Road, Caerlaverock, Dumfries DG1 4RS. Tel: 01387 770275.
