Nice walk through the trees around the water's edge mostly good surface too or you can walk along the river bank no wchair friendly as steps and uneven ground in parts. Lovely views a photo opportunities.

    Great place to spend 2/3 hours walking with your binoculars. Well laid out, no charges on parking or entry to the park. 😀 They did have however, a strange treasure trail, marked out with items to find, which I found a bit bizarre and slightly off putting, which was I suppose meant as a litter pick for stuff, you wouldnt want to mention/ discuss with your grandma.....shall I say. Overall we had a really good day. 😉😀👍

    Brought my fiancé here on the August 2022 Bank Holiday weekend to see the classic car show, and I did the Humber Bridge self guided interactive trail. Lovely little place! Has a lovely shop, toilets are very clean here as well. Will be coming back again as we didn’t have time to go explore the set paths around the visitor centre. Highly recommended for children and families.

    Stumbled across this whilst looking for somewhere to stop for lunch. Amazing find. Walks, cafe , info centre, plenty to do for all ages, sheep, ducks right on the side of the Humber. Free parking.

    Nice location for a walk next to the Humber. Stopped off briefly to take a break from a longer journey. Free parking, great views, café and toilets. Picnic tables available too.

    A beautiful walk with loads of wildlife and birds. Easy parking and an interesting visitor centre that focused on conservation. It's amazing to see the transformation of this old chemical plant into something that benefits nature. The staff were really friendly and good to chat to. Can't wait to come back in summer. Was incredible to see a Mandarin Duck.

    Although it's a walking area and most people walk dogs no dogs allowed in side so one has to wait out side while your partner can have a look around. But the area is very nice good view of the bridge and parking good and free.

    Interesting place for a visit, staff are very helpful. Had a coffee which was very good. Toilets kept clean and tidy. Only 4 stars because the cafe was on ground floor so no views of the river.

    If you want wildlife, birds or a walk by the river this is a good place to go. Have a look at the nearby rope walk.

    The Waters Edge country park on the edge of the river is an excellent place to come for bird watching, just walking along the river and admiring the view. There is an excellent visitors centre with views over the ponds. There's a cafe where you can get something to eat, the toilets are very clean. The staff are very helpful and friendly. There are various exhibitions and events on through the year including classic car shows in the summer. Plenty of free parking. It's a really nice place to visit.

    A rainy day so not many people but I'm told packed on most sunny days. What's here? Best view of Humber bridge and a great view of the river..just a minute's walk out of the door next to the cafe here. Nice coffee place..worth a trip :) A local resident talked to us about the wildlife areas and footpaths in the area..one footpaths goes along the river banks. Support the small cafes and help out with their struggle with large chains..visit this cafe

    This was the half way point on a circular walk from the north side of the Humber bridge car park and return. Very impressive building with lots to see and do (especially for children)check at reception desk. Building runs on power from solar panels on roof. Boards explaining all about how much power generated and how it's used. Views over wetlands, lots of information boards and staff at reception desk only too glad to help. Well worth a visit. Didn't explore fully as Didn't have time 9

    We could not enjoy walking around too much, the weather was not great: on and off showers. I believe with nice weather walking trails will be impressive. There are several small lakes that live lots of ducks, wild geese and others.

    Lovely place with nice restaurant and interesting things for all in the main building.

    Great place to pop in part of the way through your Riverside and wildlife reserve walk. Fantastic information regarding walks and wildlife to look out for and live video feeds of the actual reserve so you can watch what is happening if the weather isn't too good and great drinks and hot food available and a nice decking area to relax and enjoy the good weather.

    We bring the kids here to feed the ducks. Inside the building is boring for them. Though there is information stations, it seems more geared towards the older generations and a big walk way to a cafe.

    Lovely relaxing area to walk and take in the stunning view of the Humber Bridge

    Lovely place to visit to see the Humber Bridge, nice, small but NOISY Honey Pot cafe. Trails around for short walks. Take your coat ….. breezy off the Estuary

    Ace little spot to see birds and a nice walk. The coffee shop staff needs a bit of training. I'm not sure they really knew how to make it. Lol

  • 5/5 Lois H. 1 year ago on Google
    A brilliant place to while a few hours away. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. A lovely gift shop with local artists work, and other bits. Great interactive displays for the children, and an activity room for young ones; on the second visit this area had a display of paintings by a local artist, which were excellent. The cafe was great and the cheesecakes I would highly recommended. The toilets also very clean. And all this free. Outside lovely walks and very friendly ducks, which can be feed with bags of food sold in the shop. Thank you.
