Join us for an enchanting evening as we explore The Lodge on a Dusk Walk.
As the sun begins to set, experience The Lodge in a whole new light on this guided evening walk through the reserve. Dusk is one of the best times to encounter some of nocturnal creatures.
If we're very lucky, we may encounter bats, owls, badgers and more. We will use bat detectors and UV torches to find what glows at night.
Whether you're a keen wildlife enthusiast or simply looking to enjoy a peaceful evening in nature, this relaxed guided walk offers a unique opportunity to experience the magic of the reserve after hours.
