Bat Walk

Discover Stowe after dark with a guided bat walk led by the North Bucks Bat Group and the Stowe ranger team!

  • Booking essential
  • Admission applies

This guided walk will look for bats, help teach bat ID, and discuss our bat conservation work. We will provide bat detectors for use during the walk, so you can listen in to bats echolocation calls and hear Stowe like never before.

The event is suitable for all ages and abilities – no bat expertise required! Please bring a torch and warm clothes for when it gets dark. The walk will cover around 3 miles in 2 hours and will be at a gentle pace over gravel and grass paths in the gardens. Dogs on leads welcome.
