Visiting information for this winter 

In England and Northern Ireland, our gardens, parks and countryside remain open for local people to exercise. Shops, houses and other indoor areas are closed, and cafés are takeaway only. The safety of our staff, volunteers and visitors from the nearby community remains our priority and we urge you to book your visits in advance and stay local. All places in Wales are currently closed. Please check the property webpage before you travel.

Explore Copt Hall Marshes 

Stretch your legs, breathe in the fresh sea air and savour the wide-open skies at these coastal marshes. They’re the perfect place to unwind, walk the dog, or spot birds and wildflowers.
