There’s plenty to do at Leighton Moss - explore nature trails, take a stroll around our sensory garden, treat yourself in our gift shop and enjoy a home-made meal in our award-winning café. We pride ourselves on sourcing high quality, fresh, local produce.
There’s also a ‘fledgling’ menu for the kids.
