I loved it here. Amazing nature with so much life. Great trails, holocaust memorial museum and garden , abandoned green house, and sand beach, field, etc. Highly recommend. So many rabbits, butterflies, chipmunks, birds, etc. Overall very nice trails and a beautiful, small pebble beach overlooking the LI Sound near the trail. Welwyn Preserve is truly a gem. Parking lot available to park. One star out because their was no restroom available... and i searched. There should be public restrooms here... the Only restroom I saw is for the holocaust memorial building visitors.

This is a beautiful location; however, the walking trails are not marked and the is no map. The mansion garden is very nice and is great place to rest and contemplate the Holocaust. Butterflies are plentiful. Unfortunately, although dogs are not allowed - many people bring their unleashed dogs.

What’s the name of the beach?

There's a crescent beach nearby. I don't think the beach in Welvyn has it's own name.

Friends , Does anyone know what that huge metal ball is at the Old Pratt mansion in Glen Cove ? It appears to be some sort of maritime device but that is just a guess. Thanks ,Pete

Public.

Looking for good places to take photos. Where is the abandoned buildings with the graffiti. Are we allowed in that area?

The first time that I went, I took some random hidden trail that took me near the backside of the Glen Cove Mansion and came across some more hidden ruins with graffiti, aside from the ones next to the museum. Nobody was on that trail, so I assume not many people know about that particular area. If you put the GPS on, it's somewhere in the Northeast side of the park.

Does the weather affect the operating hours of the preserve. Does it remain closed if it rains?

Jitin Mathew | Oct 3, 2018
Michael McCauley | Oct 3, 2018

No it's open during daylight hours rain or shine or snow

Is the beach located close to the museum or is it deep in the woods?

Jitin Mathew | Oct 3, 2018
Nimajus Bagdonavicius | Oct 3, 2018

It's both. If you go through the woods it'll take awhile but it's a wonderful walk. Or you can go in a paved path and be by the water in five min.
