Bat Walk at Godolphin
Take a walk with our Godolphin Ranger to meet the bats that call this special place home.
Experience the garden at dusk and discover the nocturnal world of bats at Godolphin. As night falls, we’ll take a gentle walk through the grounds, using bat detectors to listen to their calls and learn more about these fascinating creatures.
Godolphin is home to a variety of bat species, including Greater Horseshoe, long-eared, and pipistrelle bats. They roost in some of the estate’s historic buildings and feed on insects attracted to our chemical-free gardens — a haven for wildlife.
