    The walk is suitable for beginners and wildlife enthusiasts. Remember to bring a torch/head torch and wear appropriate clothing/shoes for an evening walk. The path is paved, flat and is partly accessible.

    Bats only come out in good weather so this event may be called off if it rains! We’ll get in touch if we need to reschedule.
