This walk is part of a series of seasonal strolls at Trumpington Meadows Nature Reserve

Join nature enthusiast and Wildlife Trust for Beds, Cambs and Northants staff member Rebecca Neal for a night walk around Trumpington Meadows Nature Reserve and Byron's Pool Local Nature Reserve. We'll walk around 1.5 miles at a gentle pace with bat detectors to hear these fascinating night-time hunters, and we'll also listen out for hooting owls and barking deer.

Mobility

We aim to make our sessions as accessible as possible and are happy to make reasonable adjustments to ensure as many people as possible can enjoy them. Trumpington Meadows Nature Reserve has flat, accessible paths, however, since we will be walking at night, you will need to be comfortable navigating the paths in the dark. Please contact us to discuss your accessibility needs.

What to bring

Please be prepared for cool weather. Long-sleeves and long trousers will protect against bites, stings and scratches. You will need sturdy footwear and a torch (we have some spare if needed).

Parking information

The meeting point is a public car park at Byron's Pool. It is usually quiet, but spaces cannot be guaranteed. Alternative parking (and public toilets) can be found at Trumpington Park and Ride (15 minute walk).
