About RSPB Saltholme

Each spring, one of the UK's largest inland breeding colonies of terns arrives to nest on the cockleshell islands in Saltholme’s pools. There are ducks and grebes too, migrant waders and thousands of winter visitors like golden plovers and lapwings along with mesmerising murmurations of starlings. Hides and viewing screens, a walled garden and visitor centre make Saltholme a great family day out.

For any queries about visiting contact RSPB Saltholme on 01642 546625 or saltholme@rspb.org.uk

We look forward to helping you enjoy great days out and more car-free adventures in the future.
