Set amidst winding country lanes, delightful rivers and superb, unspoilt countryside, Kingcombe Visitor Centre is a place to relax and be inspired. Spend some time exploring our wildlife-friendly gardens, orchards, bird hide and the boardwalk along the edge of the tranquil River Hooke.
Kingcombe Visitor Centre is the gateway to the stunning Kingcombe National Nature Reserve, incorporating Kingcombe Meadows and Powerstock Common nature reserves, where you can enjoy exploring the unspoilt countryside and ancient woodland. The nature reserves are always open for visitors but please check below for the Visitor Centre and The Kitchen at Kingcombe opening times.
There is disabled parking available outside the centre, and a disabled toilet inside the centre. There are also toilets accessible outside at the back of Swallow Barn. The visitor centre itself is wheelchair-accessible via the main barn, and the boardwalk is suitable for wheelchairs and mobility vehicles.
Wandering through a grassland, there are two particularly beautiful groups of plants, one flamboyant, the other more subtle - orchids and grasses. Join Leif Bersweden to discover both.
