Quarry Bank Dawn Chorus Walks

Join our ranger team for an early morning guided walk to enjoy a cacophony of bird song this spring

  • Booking essential

The popular series of Dawn Chorus walks is returning to Quarry Bank this spring.

You will get to see the sunrise and listen as the dawn chorus builds from blackbird solos into an avian symphony of more than 20 species.

With the help of one of in-house bird experts, you have a rare chance to discover the intricacies of bird song, including why birds sing at all.

As a reward for your early start, there will be a bacon roll, (or plant-based alternative) and regular hot drink provided at the end of the event. The perfect end to the daily spectacle that is the dawn chorus.

This guided walk will start at 5am from Visitor Reception.

Due to the early morning start we will not be able to provide add-ons or alternative food choices.

National Trust admission charges do not apply. Tickets are non-transferable.
