We are pleased to announce the success of a funding bid that will ensure all work on the Shot Tower Nature and Visitor Centre will be complete next year. The first phase of the work is now complete. This has involved the refurbishment of the old building, installation of new floors and staircases and an observation platform at the top of the tower and at the very top of the tower a facsimile of the old belfry has been reinstated. - including a ringing bell.
The next phase of work will include installation of high quality interpretation and display material as well as fitting out of office and classroom spaces.
Please contact us if you would like to make a donation towards this wonderful project that will be of enormous benefit and interest to the local community in the future.

Access improvements-
2003 will see the installation of a disabled ramp down to the riverside. Seating is planned for the 'dipping platform' and improvements are to be made to the existing gate. A new pond is to be established in a characteristically sunny spot close to the riverside path.
A new welcoming gate and signs are also to be installed.

Visitors enjoy a guided walk looking at wetlands in summer.

Marsh marigolds and damselflies will both benefit from the creation of a new pond.
