Brief description
"Founded in the 1940’s by Sir Peter Scott this attraction bordering the River Severn in Gloucestershire is a haven for birds, wildlife and people. It is ideal for birdwatchers, families or individuals who want some peace and calm away from the stresses of life today.
Slimbridge consists of low-lying flat land with paths among lakes, gardens and pools with access to hides overlooking lakes and the Severn Estuary where you will be able to see a huge variety of birds."
