Celebrate International Dawn Chorus Day with this guided early morning walk through Downhill Demesne and Forest.
Our area ranger will take you through the basics of identifying birds by their song and enjoy the variety of songs. By the end of it, you’ll know how to distinguish a Great tit from the Chiffchaff.
This two-hour walk also offers the fascinating opportunity to immerse yourself in nature's greatest symphony and experience the powerfully restorative qualities of the woodlands.
There’ll even be a chance to stop for coffee and breakfast provided by the Little Deli enroute – is there a more perfect start to a fresh spring day?
