If you’re looking for things to do or an activity whilst in Swansea, Llanelli Wetlands Centre is a short car ride away to keep the family occupied. If you love nature then a day out in this part of Llanelli is a peaceful haven for those nature explorers.

Be sure to look out for Lapwings performing breath-taking displays of aerial courtship overhead. Reedbeds bursting into beautiful birdsong, with new migrant melodies adding to the chorus by the day. In Spring you can discover secret carpets of Bluebells and Primroses. With the ever changing colours surrounding the wetlands coming and going throughout the year, you’ll experience a different visit each time you go.

Be on the lookout for the Lapwing, Shelduck, Great Crested Grebe, Spoonbill, Black-tailed Godwit, Otter, Cuckoo and Kingfishers that habitat the area. With wide-open spaces and wetlands full of the sights and sounds of nature, there’s plenty to see and do, there’s activities and events throughout the year so check the website for what’s going on during your visit, some events need to be booked ahead of time.
