Badger Walks At Glastonbury Abbey Late Summer Series
Advertisement
The ever popular Badger Walks return for a series of late summer sessions, offering a comfortable guided walk around the abbey grounds after hours to learn about the wildlife on site.
The walk will meet outside Abbey House, tour the grounds discussing the flora & fauna of the abbey and then wait quietly near the Fish Pond for the badgers to appear. We will then make our way off site via the Silver Street gate. Please note the start and end points of the Badger Walk are different.
Tickets
Members/PLUS Members: £7
Non-Members: £12
Spaces on the walks are strictly limited to 12 and booking must be made in advance.
As ever we can’t guarantee sightings, but the walks usually experience quite a few badgers and we have multiple areas where badgers can be spotted. We have a family of foxes in the grounds now so you may also see them.
If you haven’t been on a Badger Walk before, please be aware of these guidelines:
Wear clothing that won’t make noise.
By all means bring a camera but please set it to silent shutter.
The walk will also involve a lot of standing and waiting (quietly).
Once you’ve been stood still waiting for badgers for a while even the warmest of evenings can get cold. Good idea to bring a layer or two.
Please follow the guidance of the staff and volunteers leading the walk and be as still as possible while waiting for the badgers to appear.
Due to the amount of patience and quiet required on the walks they are not generally suited to young children.
As this is a wildlife walk, dogs are not appropriate for this activity.
No push chairs, hand trolleys or similar are permitted.
Event tickets are non refundable.
We look forward to welcoming you to the abbey for the Badger Walk!
