If you are visiting the west country, or are a resident, why
not make the most of our wildlife safaris which operate
through the evenings of the summer months.
Our woodland hides and expert wildlife guides offer a unique
opportunity to view some of Devon's most elusive mammals.
Come and see our family of European beavers from our woodland
hide in “beaver valley”. An introductory talk will give you an insight
to the lifestyle, history and folklore of this fascinating animal. This
will be followed by a walk through a natural hay meadow to view a
beaver family emerging from their sunken burrow at dusk.
European beavers have been reintroduced to Scotland and this
family group on our organic farm is now one of the first to live wild in
England. On a nearby farm another hide offers excellent
opportunities to view a wild badger colony in their ancient woodland
sett. Bats and perhaps even barn owls are likely to be encountered
on the walk from the hide as they emerge from their day roosts to
hunt.
Evening safaris to view red and roe deer are also possible by
arrangement and all tours start from Upcott Grange Farm at 6pm
with a short introductory talk.
All bookings must clarify what species you wish to view advance.
