Hawthorns Urban Wildlife Centre
The centre is set in over half a hectare (1.25 acres) of grounds to the north of the city centre. The grounds are planted and managed as different wildlife habitats and it is a great place to learn about the different ecosystems. This is good for family visits and the perfect place to get away from the city centre and get back to nature.
