What better way to feel alive than a night walk in the woods?!

Come for a stroll with us as we learn how to use bat detectors, keep an eye out for hunting owls, and listen for the night time sounds of the many residents of Holyford Woods.

At the end of our walk we'll join up with the local bat group and hopefully see some bats up close.

Wrap up warmly and bring a torch.
