The walk starts at Stackpole Centre with an introduction to the bats we might encounter. Then we'll head along a small road towards a pipistrelle roost, arriving at around twilight. This is a level road and easy to follow. As it begins to get dark, we’ll take the route into Lodge Park Wood, where several different bats may be picked up on the detectors. Then we’ll continue to the old stables of the mansion and the greater horseshoe bat roost.

The return route varies depending on how everyone is feeling and either returns along the same route to Stackpole Centre, or heads down to the lakeside path, stopping at the Eight Arch Bridge where there is often bat activity. This path changes level twice, can be uneven in parts, and muddy when wet.

This is a ticketed event. Tickets cost £7 per adult, £4 per child and there is a family group 20% discount. Booking is essential.
