Our Visitor Centres

Explore 26 acres of wildlife-friendly grounds including three lakes, woodland and meadows, experience the delights of our new cafe and have a go on our play trail. We also have a gift shop featuring wildlife goods for all the family. 

The centre is the ideal place for all ages - and even better it's completely FREE to visit. Enjoy a leisurely afternoon taking in the grounds and spotting wildlife, or bring along all the family and let the little ones burn off some steam exploring the nature trails and play features.

When you're finished, you can relax with a drink in the visitor centre (trying our homemade cakes are a must!), or bring along a picnic to eat on one of the many picnic benches around the grounds.  

Dogs are more than welcome on the site but must be kept on leads at all times and in the colder months will be allowed in the cafe where there will be a designated area for you and your pooch.

All funds raised from The Wosleley Centre goes directly to the charity to help us look after Staffordshire's wildlife and wild places. 

Check out our Wolseley Centre page to find out more about this fantastic visitor destination.

Take in panoramic views of Westport Lake and see if you can spot some birdlife while enjoying a drink and a snack at our Westport Lake Visitor Centre in Stoke-on-Trent.

We offer a range of hot and cold drinks - including teas, coffees and hot chocolate - and snacks including paninis and a range of irresistible cream cakes.

These can be enjoyed either inside or outside on the balcony overlooking the lake.

Our cafe even has the seal of approval from TV naturalist Chris Packham, who popped in before giving a talk to supporters of the Trust. He said the hot chocolate was "superb and second to none!"

Surrounding the centre there is lots to explore too. There is a good, level footpath of around one mile around the lake, and a health walk around the conservation area. Check out our Westport Lake Visitor Centre page for more details.
