Walking with Bats on Ham Hill

Join the rangers for an evening stroll around Ham Hill Country Park to discover the fascinating world of bats. Learn about the ecology and behaviour of these nocturnal mammals and discover which species are found in the woodlands and meadows. We will use bat detectors to help us identify them, as the flutter over our heads. 

This guided bat walk is suitable for adults and children aged 12 and older.
