Dawn Chorus Walk

On Sunday 4th of May join us for a gentle guided stroll through the meadows and woodland at Newtown National Nature Reserve to listen to the dawn chorus.

  • Booking essential
  • Free event

Rise with the lark for a 2 mile, gentle walk to experience nature awakening in the Island's only National Nature Reserve. As the first light of day appears, birds begin their melodic calls, creating a symphony of chirps, whistles and trills. Enjoy this peaceful walk, connect with nature while enjoying the crisp morning air, scent of fresh dew and the gradual awakening of wildlife. Afterwards, enjoy a light breakfast and hot drinks in the Visitor Point.

Booking is essential via 'Check availability'.
