Twilight Bat Walks

Come along to the Borrowdale Rainforest to find some of the special animals that call this place home, Bats!

  • Booking essential
  • Free event

Taking place just after it gets dark, the time of day when Borrowdale's bats are coming out to fly and feed.

Enjoy a fun family-friendly introduction to bats before setting off on a guided walk with our bat detectors to see what you can find. It’s not just bats out at night, maybe you’ll hear the call of an owl or the scurry of a passing fox.
