Boat tours

Boat tours run daily from 2 April to the end of September. The boat tours can accommodate 2 wheelchairs and carers are free to go on the tour. Tours start daily at 11am but we are able to book a boat tour in advance at 10.30am for a quieter session. Please email info.martinmere@wwt.org.uk for details.

Trails and hides

The nature trail is fully paved. It is not a circular loop. Most of our hides have lower windows to allow for wheelchair users to view the wildlife and bird books to help with identification.

Morning explorers: relaxed times to visit

Morning explorers: relaxed times to visit – We would advise visiting Monday to Friday during term time when the centre is quieter. If you are visiting at the weekend we would recommend coming in between 9.30 and 11.30am as the centre becomes busier from 11am onwards.
