The Cut Visitor Centre

Fully accessible paths allow you to discover our small but diverse wildlife garden. The structure of the garden is formal, but in summer you will find plants spilling over the edges, running riot up woven arches, breaking and softening the straight lines of the flower beds. Once part of the Abbey the site is full of history, it is the perfect place to escape all year round. 

A dedicated group of volunteers have been working hard to revitalise our gardens, they have been making lots of changes to ensure the site looks fabulous throughout the year.

Our fantastic Wild Child Garden is open all year round. With lots to explore children can get muddy and discover the joys of outdoor wild play in a completely safe environment. Make the muddiest mud pie, crawl through creepy tunnels and create a splash with our water wall. 

We also run a weekly toddler group for under 5's 'Wildlings' in our Wild Child Garden.

Browse our gift shop within the Visitor Centre. Here you will find seasonal gifts, books and pocket money toys. We also stock a huge range of wildlife themed items to help you discover nature including ID guides, maps, top of the range binoculars and bird feeding products.

We also have refreshments available and you can sit in the calm of our cozy indoor seating area.
