Ferrycroft Countryside Centre
An audiovisual exhibition into the local history of the area with displays on conservation, archaeology and local scenery. Play areas indoors and outdoors for younger visitors.
At the Centre you can:
- Listen to the story of why most of the native woods have disappeared, and what foresters and conservationists are doing to replace them
- Enjoy an audio-visual journey into the past to discover the peoples who lived here hundreds and thousands of years ago
- Find out about the local hydro-electric scheme and its impact on the environment
- Learn about the wildlife and conservation, archaeological work in the area, and places to visit
You could also take a walk from the centre up Ord Hill on the archaeological trail, with the magnificent views of the area from the top of the hill or through Ferry Wood on the forest walk.
Ferrycroft is also the base of the local Countryside Ranger, Ian Patterson. Throughout the year Ian organises special events including nature walks and children's activities as well as giving advice to visitors on the best places to spot local wildlife and directions to local places of interest.
