A visit to WWT Arundel is fun as well as educational and there's plenty to do and see all year round. Getting you close to nature is what The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT), a wildlife charity with visitor centres throughout Britain & Ireland, has been doing for over 50 years.

WWT was founded in 1946 by artist and naturalist Sir Peter Scott. Sir Peter believed that the interaction between wildlife and people was the best way to communicate the conservation message and we are proud to continue his pioneering work.
