Our Visitor Centres
We have fantastic visitor centres at our Carlton Marshes and Lackford Lakes nature reserves, each open 7 days a week. Both centres have a café serving locally-sourced drinks, snacks and light lunches, and a shop with wildlife-themed gifts, accessories, books, and Viking binoculars.
Every penny you spend in our cafés and shops supports our work protecting and restoring nature in Suffolk.
