RSPB Ribble Discovery Centre
Recommended by
Overview
The RSPB Ribble Discovery Centre is on the edge of Fairhaven Lake. It's the gateway to the north side of the Ribble Estuary - the most important single river estuary in the UK - which attracts over 270,000 birds each year. You'll get good views of the estuary nearby and the lake itself attracts wintering ducks. The centre is open all year round and has a full programme of events. Fairhaven Lake offers peaceful seaside activities and has pram- and wheelchair-friendly walks with toilet and café facilities.
About the area
Lancashire was at the centre of the British cotton industry in the 19th century, which lead to the urbanization of great tracts of the area. The cotton boom came and went, but the industrial profile remains.
