Dawn Beaver Safari
Start your day with Wild Intrigue on a Dawn Beaver Safari at the Wallington beaver enclosure, to observe the family of Eurasian beavers.
- Booking essential
- Admission applies
The Wallington Beavers live in an ever-changing wetland crafted by their own engineering. From a raised position in the landscape, you will enjoy views of the core beaver wetland amongst a bank of wildflowers.
As the sun rises on the horizon, Beavers spend time engineering close to their lodges to make sure their most important dams are in good condition, to socialise with the family in their ‘natal pool’ and to have a snack before they tuck up for a good day’s sleep.
The wetland is home to an array of other species, including Roe Deer, Grey Heron, Badgers and Otter – which may also make a special appearance.
