Nature walks with Discover The Wild: Summer Nature Walk
Immerse yourself in the sounds and sights of summer! Take a walk through the woods and hedgerows and explore the insects, birds, flowers and fungi that may call Haigh Hall home for the summer. From bird visitors from Africa to our colourful summer flowers, we will amble around the park appreciating some wonderful species and learning about how they fit in to the ecosystem, how we identify them as well as appreciate their beauty. It is summer so expect lots of butterflies, but don't worry, even if it rains there is still lots to encounter and get hands on with!
Twilight Walk
Join the Haigh team experts for a relaxing Twilight Summer Nature Walk, where the golden glow of sunset fades into the gentle hush of dusk. Stroll along our scenic paths, breathe in the warm evening air, and discover the sights and sounds that come alive as day turns to night. There’ll be a guided walk with fascinating insights into evening wildlife and plants from the team, alongside the peaceful chorus of birds settling and nocturnal creatures awakening. Perfect for families, nature lovers, walkers of all abilities, and anyone looking to unwind and reconnect with the outdoors.
