From £3 per ticket

Explore trails through woodland and wetland, enjoy our natural play area, take five over a cup of coffee, build a den, and watch great crested grebes dance. Discover all this and more at our wild and wonderful Lochwinnoch.

Just 30 minutes from Glasgow city centre by car or train, this wetland reserve is an ideal spot to get away from it all and enjoy some amazing wildlife with the family.

As one of the few wetlands left in the west of Scotland, Lochwinnoch is the perfect place to watch whooper swans, wigeon, goldeneye and a wide variety of other ducks during winter months. In spring you won't want to miss the elaborate displays of the great crested grebes, while the woodland is alive with wildlife all the year round.

The reserve has an outdoor natural play area, an accessible trail and runs activities and events suitable for the whole family as well as drop-in kids activities.

Have a brew with a view at the visitor centre and browse in the shop which has an array of bird feeding products, books, gifts, clothing, toys and binoculars and telescopes.

Car park charges apply.

This nature reserve is important for wildlife. RSPB Scotland welcomes responsible access, in line with the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. During the ground-nesting bird breeding season (1 April to 15 August) we would ask that you keep your dog at heel, preferably on a short lead and please clean up after your dog.
