Bwlch Nant yr Arian Red Kite Feeding Station

Highlight • Natural Monument

Every afternoon at 3pm (BST) and 2pm (GMT) red kites are fed in a beautiful setting down by the lake. This is a truly amazing spectacle and well worth the visit. Dozens (if not hundreds) of these really majestic birds circle over the lake and come into feed.

There is also a cafe at the visitor's center which serves a variety of warm snacks.
