Leighton Moss RSPB reserve is a nature reserve in Lancashire, England, in the care of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. It is situated at Silverdale near Carnforth, on the edge of Morecambe Bay and in the Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It contains the largest area of reedbeds in north-west England, along with lagoons and woodland, and it provides habitats for many species of wildlife, including Bitterns and Red Deer. There are many observation hides and nature trails.
[edit] Facilities
The reserve is entered through the visitor centre (a converted farmhouse) containing a shop and a tea-room; which is respected as one of the best RSPB tea-rooms in the country. It also contains an education room.
[edit] Opening times
The reserve and visitor centre are open daily all year round (except Christmas day). The reserve is open from 9 am to dusk and the visitor centre from 9.30 am – 5 pm (4.30 pm November–January inclusive). Entrance is free for RSPB members, and those arriving on public transport (Silverdale railway station is just a few minutes' walk away), on foot, or by bicycle.
