Blackwater, Isle of Wight

A Home for wildlife and a haven of peace and tranquillity for us

Take a walk through our 10 acres of meadows and woodland

Sit and listen, smell the scents of nature, close your eyes and breath it all in

Spend quality time with your children exploring the wonders of nature

Pond dipping, chasing butterflies, scavenger hunting

at a price you can afford

We run a small nature reserve and field study centre. We work with all community groups including Home Educators, college students, unemployed and other vulnerable people. We have several education and support programs that cover the national curriculum for primary schools.

Our amazing volunteers help us to manage the nature reserve. 

We are a place for parents who want to spend quality time with their children

and a safe place for the over 60's to visit
