Night-time wildlife walks

Join our Ranger team to experience the nocturnal wildlife that lives at Quarry Bank

  • Booking essential

Enjoy a guided walk through the woods with our experienced Ranger team.

What nighttime residents will you spot? Perhaps Barn owls, Tawny owls, badgers or maybe some of the bat species that live here.

Learn about wildlife ecology, life cycles, feeding habits and perhaps have a chance to listen to bat noises as they fly overhead.

The walk will finish in the Mill Yard. Ticket price includes a bat biscuit per person.

In previous years these walks have been known as bat walks, however as we cannot guarantee the appearance of bats and to reflect the variety of wildlife we do see on these walks, we have renamed them.

National Trust admission charges do not apply. Recommended for children aged 12+
