Features

Badger & Wildlife Night Watch offers an unsurpassed opportunity to watch these elusive animals in comfort. An evening in the countryside you'll never forget.
From our hides, thrill at the sight of badgers emerging from their setts and foraging for food. The area is floodlit for perfect vision and visits from other wildlife such as owls, foxes, rabbits and bats add to the spectacle.
The badger watch starts at 6:30pm so (depending on when the badgers come out) you will have the opportunity to shoot during daylight and as dusk approaches the floodlights switch on so that area in front of the hides is fully illuminated, giving you a great view. The hides have been in position for many years and the badgers are used to the lighting so as long as everyone stays still and quiet, the badgers come extremely close.
