Morning Wildlife Walk
Discover Longshaw's spring wildlife and spectacular views on a friendly guided walk
- Booking essential
Starting at the Welcome Building near Woodcroft car park, explore the sights and sounds of Longshaw's wildlife with an early morning walk.
While we can’t guarantee exactly what we will spot, we will be looking out for moorland birds, wild red deer, spring haymeadow flowers and the woods looking their most vivid with summer colour.
The walk is about two hours long, including plenty of pauses to look and listen. The distance is about 3 miles/5km. The walk will end at Longshaw visitor hub, where toilets are available.
