Explore the fascinating world of insects on our half-term 'Bugs at the Old Battery' trail! Visitors will journey from trail point to trail point, collecting clues and evidence to help Gunner Bruce solve a mysterious insect puzzle.
 
Along the way, you’ll learn about the many insects that inhabit the Needles headland and the Batteries and even discover some of the creatures of the night. There may also be a “buzz” on the telephone to gather an extra clue! 

Perfect for curious minds of all ages, this interactive trail blends adventure, science and a touch of Victorian naturalist charm.

Embrace the spirit of discovery and wonder as you explore the incredible insect life at the Needles!
