Twilight Nature Tour
Catch a glimpse of colourful kingfishers and secretive badgers in our nature reserve at dusk.
Join us at dusk for a chance to spot secretive woodland creatures in their natural habitat.
Experience the stirring of nocturnal wildlife as the sun sets and witness the transition from light to darkness as our senses heighten, and sounds and smells become more intense.
Our experienced ranger will take you on a tour of the woodland trails in our beautiful Loder Valley Nature Reserve, a wild and tranquil landscape.
Catch a glimpse of kingfishers and look out for wild badgers to see these fascinating creatures eat, play and forage.
Part way through the evening, we'll take a short break from the wildlife watching and warm up with hot soup and a roll.
