The new visitor centre acts as a gateway to the nature reserve which, at almost 600 acres is the largest urban nature reserve in the UK and attracts 30,000 visitors each year.

Mrs Winterton said: “Potteric Carr is a fantastic asset for Doncaster and the whole of Yorkshire.

“It is an honour to open this superb centre and it is a tribute to the hard work of volunteers and staff of Yorkshire Wildlife Trust.”
