Within the wetlands is the former Yorkshire Wildlife Trust reserve of Wath Ings, still the most productive part of the wetlands and the only mature habitat within the site. Five easily accessible hides offer views of a large variety of birds. On-site visitor center houses exhibits and a gift shop. Also animal paddocks, play area, bird feeding garden and wildlife walks.
