Ickworth Bat Walk
The Ickworth estate is home to many bats, this guided walk is a brilliant opportunity to see and hear some of them from experts.
Start the evening with a chat to our Bat experts at the Porters Lodge to discover the difference between the calls of a Pipistrelle and a Daubenton's; learn about their habitat and what we can do to improve it. We will then spend an hour outside discovering where the bats may be.
Please note:
- Please park in the main car park and head to the Porters Lodge cottage.
- Please wear footwear and clothing suitable for the weather, and don't forget your torch!
- The walk will go along some paths which may be uneven, however mobility scooters and powered wheelchairs should be suitable. There is not seating along the walk so please bring a compact seat should you need to sit regularly.
- Children over 8 years old are welcome.
- Due to the nature of the walk we ask only assistance dogs attend.
- Weather and light can all affect whether we see/hear bats and cannot guarantee visitors will experience seeing the bats.
