MrsB and I went last week, very impressive. Even joined the RSPB (36quid a year).
Would definately recommend a visit

Is this the same as the Seal-viewing centre? If so we tried to visit it last year after seeing an ad, but couldn't find it anywhere.

... oh, just where the seals are :shock:

no that is not the viewing centre that is down the path
the seals are only up that part of the creek at high tide :roll:

Right.
It's probably my fault I missed them. Whenever I arrive at a habitat where wildlife is known to abound, the wildlife goes into hiding.

I have heard nothing but good reports of Saltholme, I shall be paying a visit later in the year. It looks like been a success story, we dont get many in this part of the world.
