A perfect place for pond dipping and exploring nature

As one of London's Wildlife Trusts top visitor attractions, the [Link http://www.woodberrywetlands.org.uk/ ] is eleven hectares of of nature right in one of the most densely populated areas of London.

Located in Hackney, it is a home to a multitude of wildlife and it will give your children a chance to explore nature, and perhaps spot a bird, butterfly or bat out in the wild. With wetlands, woodland and meadow, there is enough wide open space to run around and engage in imagination play in a peaceful setting.



The park frequently runs children's workshops. These include nature story time, craft, wildlife discovery and more.
