WWT Arundel

WWT Arundel is a coastal wetland conservation site with shallow water habitats, reedbeds, and several observation hides spread across the grounds. The place combines open water areas with thick vegetation and different water zones that attract various bird species.

The conservation site was founded in 1976 by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust to protect waterfowl and their habitats. It became part of a network of reserves dedicated to preserving wetlands across the United Kingdom.

The site raises rare waterfowl species and visitors can watch feeding times and natural behaviors throughout the day. These close encounters show how important this place is for protecting endangered birds.

Visitors can use free parking, borrow wheelchairs, and access viewing areas without steps. A cafe on site serves hot food and drinks, making it easy to plan rest breaks during your visit.

A special tank with glass walls below the water surface lets visitors watch diving ducks hunt and move underwater. This underwater view shows behaviors that stay hidden from above-ground observation points.
