Join us for a family friendly walk to detect bats on the estate.

Meet in the courtyard for tea and biscuits. There is a 1/2 hr natural history slide talk followed by a quiz and some videos. After an introduction to the use of Bat detectors there is a guided walk approximately 2 miles in length. 

The route is reasonably accessible mostly on tarmac paths. A variety of roosting and feeding habitats are covered. In the past about 5 species of bat have been encountered engaged in a variety of natural behaviour. 

The walk will finish back at the house at about 10am but families with very young children may want to make this shorter.

£10. Booking essential.
