Riverside Nature Park
18 minute walk from Invergowrie station · Stirling, Central and Fife
Riverside Nature Park is a unique green space created from Dundee’s old landfill site. Located on the Tay Estuary, the park features newly planted trees and wildflowers designed to form thriving wildlife habitats.
The park holds significance due to its location on the Firth of Tay, which boasts some of the best water quality in Europe. This environment supports numerous species, earning the estuary many important natural heritage designations.
Visitors can explore paths and viewpoints to see over 80 species of birds. Highlights include watching wading birds like redshank and curlew near the pools, or seeing thousands of geese at dusk in winter. Spring brings displays of skylarks and blooming cowslips.
