About

Come and see the only pair of breeding ospreys in Wales. Through telescopes at the viewpoint enjoy watching the ospreys as they carry food to their developing chicks. You may even be lucky enough to catch the youngsters first flights. Three large, widescreen plasma monitors in the hide broadcast live images and sound directly from the nest, getting you even closer to the nesting family. As you watch the ospreys, don't forget to also take in the amazing views of Snowdonia and surrounding mountain ranges. Glaslyn Valley offers you some of the most scenic and wildlife rich areas in Wales. Over 180,000 people have visited the Glaslyn osprey project since the birds first arrived in 2004. The hide has four high powered telescopes and seven pairs of binoculars available for you to use. The visitor centre shows live osprey nestcam images. There are also picnic tables at the site.
